Follow these steps to clean the paper feed rollers in standard paper tray 1 and paper tray 2.

  6. Wipe the rubber of the Paper feed roller with a dry cloth.

     

    Do not wipe with a wet cloth, alcohol or cleanser.

     
  7. Insert the projection of the Paper feed roller into the hole (1). While pulling the roller towards you, insert the roller onto the rear shaft (2).
