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.

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.
