Cleaning the Friction Pad and Paper Feed Roller

If the friction pad or paper feed roller is dirty, a multi-feed or jam might occur. In this case, clean the friction pad and paper feed roller as follows:

CAUTION

  • Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet before you move the machine. While moving the machine, take care that the power cord is not damaged under the machine. Failing to take these precautions could result in fire or electric shock.

CAUTION

  • Do not pull out the paper tray forcefully. If you do, the tray might fall and cause an injury.

CAUTION

  • Do not put your hands inside the machine when the input tray is removed. Some internal parts become hot and are a burn hazard.

Important

  • Do not use chemical cleaning fluids or organic solvents such as thinner or benzine.

1Turn off the power.

2Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet. Remove all the cables from the machine.

3Pull out tray 1 carefully with both hands.
