Why has my manual feed stopped working?

After a few years of light use, the manual feed on my Brother HL-2170W has stopped working. I can hear the roller start moving, but the page I have in the front slot no longer gets grabbed and pulled into the printer (which it used to do). Instead, roller sops moving and the error light starts blinking. I removed and checked the actuator holder assembly; it was not caught on anything. I used Factory Inspection Mode to verify that the registration sensors and the paper eject sensor work fine. Printing from the paper tray works fine. Since it took years for this problem to turn up, and every once in a while the manual feed does work (but only maybe 3% of the time), I guess something might be worn or dirty. Can someone tell me what that might be, and how I can find and fix it?

SOURCE: Brother MFC 9600 won't pull paper from tray

There are rollers that cling on to the paper and move it through the machine. When the rollers are worn down they do not grip the paper. For a short fix you can get something rough like sandpaper, brillo pad, etc, and gently scratch the rollers to give them some traction. This will temporarily solve your problem until you can get the rollers replaced.

I've been told labels have to be manually fed on that printer.

Why has my manual feed stopped working?

I would hazard an educated guess that the pick up roller for the manual bypass slot has become coated with dust and paper fibre. Open the front hatch and remove the toner/drum assembly. Clean the pick up roller just inside the cavity below where the drum "handle" would sit. I recommend alcohol and a cloth wrapped around your finger, and try to rotate the roller to clean as much of it as possible.

How do I reset the Drum light on my Brother HL-2170W laserjet printer? I changed the drum already.

Open the front of the printer. Hold down the white button on the left until all 4 lights come on. Close the front cover. Voila.
