Cleaning the Paper Tray, Separator Roller, and the Paper Feed Roller
If the paper tray, separator roller, or paper feed roller is dirty, a multi-feed or misfeed might occur. Clean these parts by following the cleaning procedure for Tray 1 described below. The cleaning procedure is the same for the optional paper feed units.
Pull the tray carefully until it stops, lift the front side of the tray, and then pull it out of the machine.
Place the tray on a flat surface.
If there is paper in the tray, remove the paper.
Wipe the areas indicated in the illustrations below using a dry or damp cloth.
Separator roller
Wipe the whole separator roller by rolling it and using a moistened and firmly wrung out cloth.
Paper tray
Use a moistened and firmly wrung out cloth.
Paper feed roller
Wipe around the paper feed roller by turning it with a damp cloth. Then, wipe it with a dry cloth to remove any water.
Load the removed paper stack in the tray.
Lift the front side of the tray, and then slide it into the machine carefully until it stops.
Do not slide the paper tray in forcefully. Otherwise, the end and side fences might move.
