Pick tires removal
See “Pick tires” on page 7-11 for the part number.
Note: You will need to have a soft, padded work surface.
Warning: Remove only the rubber tires and not the paper pick tire assembly to avoid losing small parts.
The paper pick tires for the standard media tray are located in the base printer. There are also tires in the
optional 650-sheet Duo Drawer/MP feeder and the optional 550-sheet drawer. If you have one or both of these
additional options, and you are having problems with media picking, replace these tires also. Always replace the
paper pick tires in pairs. The tires come in a package of two.
1.
Remove the media tray.
2.
Place the printer so the front edge extends over the edge of the table or desk.
3.
Lower the paper pick motor drive assembly.
4.
Remove the rubber tire (A) from the pick roll assembly (B). Repeat for the other tire.
Warning: Be very careful not to unlatch the right side hub, or the clutch may be damaged. If the ball
bearings come out of the clutch, it will have to be reassembled on a flat surface, and may be very difficult.
Installation notes:
Install the new rubber tires with the surface texture turning in the direction as shown.
Note: Feel each rubber surface to verify it turns properly in the direction shown. The smoother surface pushes
the paper toward the front of the printer.
