Cleaning the paper path rollers
Paper is sometimes dusted with a powder to keep the image on one sheet from bleeding over to the
back of the sheet stacked on top of it. When feeding such paper from the MP tray, the dust tends to
get onto the paper rollers and eventually causes misfeeds to occur. Use the following procedure to
clean the paper rollers when you start having feed problems from the MP tray.
Follow these steps to clean the paper rollers:
1. Make sure the printer is turned off.
