Is This the Right Part?

Paper not feeding from Tray 2 / Tray 3If the printer sounds like it is trying to pick up paper from Tray 2 / Tray 3 but the page fails to enter the feed path — or a jam is reported immediately — the pickup roller is the first component to check. Worn rubber loses the grip needed to pull paper from the stack. Multiple sheets feeding at onceIf two or more sheets are being pulled through simultaneously from Tray 2 / Tray 3, the separation pad or separation roller is the likely cause. When worn it can no longer hold back the second sheet and multi-feed occurs.
Recurring jams at tray entryIf jams are happening repeatedly at the same point at the Tray 2 / Tray 3 entry, worn rollers or a glazed separation pad are almost always the cause. Replacing the roller and pad together typically resolves this permanently. Paper slipping or skewing on entryIf paper enters the printer at an angle or slips before reaching the registration rollers, worn roller surfaces are usually the cause. New rollers restore the correct feed torque and alignment.
Fault from a different tray?This part is for Tray 2 / Tray 3 only. If the fault is occurring from a different tray, a different part number applies. Contact us before ordering and we will confirm the correct part. Printer not attempting to pick up at all?If the printer makes no mechanical attempt — no sound of rollers engaging — the pickup solenoid or clutch is the more likely cause. Contact us and we can help diagnose before you order.
