Cleaning the Paper Feed Path

Paper dust sticking to the paper transfer guide plate, roller, paper feed roller, or sensor may cause white spots, paper jam, or double feeding. Clean the paper feed path from the paper tray to the paper exit in the drawer.

Turn off the main power before performing the operations described in this manual. See "Turning Off/On the Power", Replacement Guide.
