Changing the pickup roller
Normal use with good media causes wear. The use of poor media might require more
frequent replacement of the pickup roller.
If the printer regularly mispicks (no media feeds through), you might need to change or clean
the pickup roller. See
Ordering supplies and accessories
to order a new pickup roller.
CAUTION
Failure to complete this procedure might damage the printer.
1. Unplug the power cord from the printer, and allow the printer to cool.
2. Open the print cartridge door, and remove the print cartridge.
