    Solution

      If the Paper Feed Roller is dirty or paper powder is attached to it, paper may not be fed properly.
      In this case, clean the Paper Feed Roller. Cleaning will wear out the Paper Feed Roller, so perform this only when necessary.

      You need to prepare: three sheets of A4 or Letter-sized plain paper

      1. Make sure that the power is turned on.

      2. Open the Paper Output Tray gently, and open the Output Tray Extension.

      4. Clean the Paper Feed Roller without paper.
      (1) Follow the message to remove paper in the paper source you selected in (5) of step 3.
      (2) Press the OK button.
      The Paper Feed Roller will rotate as it is cleaned.

      5. Clean the Paper Feed Roller with paper.
      (1) Make sure that the Paper Feed Roller has stopped rotating, then follow the message to load three or more sheets of A4 or Letter-sized plain paper in the paper source you selected in (5) of step 3.
      (2) Press the OK button.

      If the problem is not resolved after cleaning the Paper Feed Roller in the Rear Tray, turn off the power, disconnect the power plug, then wipe the Paper Feed Roller (A) located in the center inside the Rear Tray with a moistened cotton swab or the like. Rotate the roller manually in the direction of the arrow (B) as you clean it. Do not touch the roller with your fingers; rotate it with the cotton swab.
      IMPORTANT
      • If the power plug is disconnected, the date/time settings will be reset and all documents stored in memory will be lost. Send or print a necessary document, or save it on a memory card or USB flash drive before disconnecting the power plug.
