Cleaning Paper Feed Rollers

If a paper feed roller is dirty or paper powder is attached to it, paper may not be fed properly. In this case, perform Roller Cleaning. Cleaning will cause wear on rollers, so perform this only when necessary.

You need to prepare: three sheets of A4 or Letter-sized plain paper

  1. Check that printer is turned on.

  2. Select (Setup) on HOME screen.

    The setup menu screen will appear.

  3. Select Maintenance.

    The Maintenance screen will appear.

  4. Select Roller Cleaning.

    The confirmation screen will appear.

  5. Select Yes.

  6. Remove any paper from the cassette, then push it back.

  7. Select OK.

    The paper feed rollers will rotate as they are cleaned without paper.

  8. Make sure that the paper feed roller has stopped rotating, then follow the message to load the three sheets of A4 or Letter-sized plain paper in cassette.

  9. Select OK.

    The printer starts cleaning. The cleaning will be complete when the paper is ejected.

  10. When the completion message appears, select OK.

If the problem is not resolved after cleaning, contact Canon to request a repair.
