Clean the paper feed rollers
Dusty rollers slip, so pages misfeed or come through smudged. A built-in routine cleans them.
01 · Identify — does this match what you see?
- Repeated no-paper errors with paper loaded
- Grey smears along the page edge
- Loud grinding at feed time
02 · Resolve — follow in order
- 1
Remove all paper from the tray you want to clean.
- 2
Open Maintenance and choose Roller Cleaning, then pick the rear tray or cassette.
- 3
Let it run with no paper — the rollers spin dry to shed dust.
- 4
When prompted, load three sheets of plain paper and run the routine again; the sheets pick up remaining grime.
- 5
Repeat once if the sheets came out visibly dirty.
Pro tip
Do this every few reams, or any time you move the printer somewhere dustier.
