■
Flat spots.

Out of roundness.
■
Cracked rubber.
■
Loss of traction (tackiness) causing pick or feed failures.
Gears:
Replace gears that show any signs of wear or breakage. Look for these

a plastic gear.

Belts:
Inspect the belts for wear. There are nine rubber belts in the printer:
Look for these problems:

Cracking or moderate fraying; a small amount of fraying is inevitable,
so look for other signs of wear before replacing the belt.
