Cleaning for jams and ink smears: paper-feed rollers

Approximate time to complete: 5 minutes

You should clean the upper and lower media feed rollers if any of the following conditions exist:

■Media is consistently jamming behind the front cover or at the manual-feed slot.

■Ink smear problems persist after you have performed the “Cleaning for ink smears: internal paper path” procedure.

The media-feed rollers carry the print media from the media tray and manual-feed slot through the printer. Occasionally, stray ink particles become attached to the paper-feed rollers creating slick roller surfaces. When media feed problems or ink smears appear on prints, you can generally correct the problem by cleaning the media-feed rollers. Refer to “Using isopropyl alcohol” on page 5-12 for more information.
