Maintaining the 550 Sheet Feeder
1. Remove the paper trays and inspect the inside of the feeder for jammed paper or obviously
broken components.
Broken components or scraps of paper lodged inside the feeder may be brushing against mov-
ing parts and causing the noise.
2. Call your service technician.
This problem may be caused by a malfunctioning or broken component that requires service.
Maintaining the 550 Sheet Feeder
The 550 sheet feeder requires very little maintenance; however, normal daily use requires you to
perform some routine maintenance including replacing parts of the feeder.
Replacing Feed Roll, Nudger Roll, and Retard Roll
Rubber feed rolls drive sheets of paper out of the feeder paper trays into the printer. These feed rolls
wear with normal use and eventually become coated with paper dust and must be replaced. Fre-
quent feed jams in the front tray or main tray indicate that the feed rolls need to be replaced.
NOTE: The following procedure illustrates the process of replacing the feed roll, retard roll, and nudger
roll for the main paper tray. To replace the rolls for a paper feeder, use the same procedure but
remove the paper tray of the paper feeder and replace the feed rolls in the paper tray well of
that feeder.
1. Turn the printer off by pressing the [ O ] on the power switch on the right side of the printer,
and disconnect the AC power cord from the wall outlet.
