If this error occurs often during 2-sided copying or 2-sided printing, the paper feed rollers may be stained with ink.
Follow the steps below to clean the paper feed rollers:
- Unplug the machine from the AC power outlet (electrical socket).
- Pull the paper tray (1) completely out of the machine.
If the paper support flap is open, close it, and then close the paper support.
- Clean the front side of the Paper Feed Rollers (1) with a soft lint-free cloth moistened with water, using a side-to-side motion. After cleaning, wipe the rollers with a dry, soft, lint-free cloth to remove all moisture.
- Lift the green Jam Clear Flap (2), and then clean the back side of the Paper Feed Rollers (1) with a soft lint-free cloth moistened with water. After cleaning, wipe the rollers with a dry, soft, lint-free cloth to remove all moisture.

Do not use the machine again until the rollers are dry. Using the machine before the rollers are dry may cause paper feed issues.
