Step-by-Step Solution

  1. Pull out the tray: Completely remove the paper tray.
  2. Inspect path: Open the side door to see if any torn paper remains.
  3. Clear debris: Carefully remove all obstructions.
  4. Wipe rollers: Gently clean the rubber feed rollers with a damp, lint-free cloth.

Prevention and Maintenance

Use only supported paper weights. Clean rollers periodically to avoid traction loss. Fan the paper stack before loading to minimize static electricity.
