Cleaning the Feeder

Graphite powder or dust on the rollers inside the feeder or on the document feed scanning area may cause smudges to appear on printouts. If this occurs or if a paper jam occurs frequently, clean the feeder. If the problem persists after cleaning the feeder, perform automatic feeder cleaning.
