How to replace the pickup rollers in a Dell v515W printer.

The rubber pickup rollers (or tires as Dell techs call them) on my printer sort of 'deteriorated' and broke into little pieces. As such it can't feed the paper to be printer due to lack of friction. The printer is still in good shape and I have a bunch of ink cartridges for it. Anyone know how to get to the pickup rollers area? I remove the couple of screws from the back but could not remove anything. In fact the it looks like a one-piece moulded plastic. Thanks

SOURCE: Dell 720 printer won't print

Our Dell AIO A940 stopped printing black ink. Tried so many things, and finally (a year later) got it to print by selecting:

PRINT, PROPERTIES, PAPER SETUP, SPECIALTY PAPER, PHOTO/GLOSSY

It's worth a try! Good luck!

SOURCE: Refilled my Dell Ink Cartridge

It's never going to recognize a product that is not original even if it's refilled in the Dell cartridge. That's happened to me--you get used to it. Dell just wants you to get it from THEM and not from any where else. I have a 922 All-in-One....It's been good for the past 3 years.

SOURCE: Paper won't feed and get's stuck

1. Turn the printer off and open the access cover.
2. Look for any obstructions in the paper path and remove them if necessary. (It is possible to move the carrier assembly with the power off.)
3. Turn the printer on, load some paper, and press the Form Feed button.
4. Watch the paper as it feeds through and try to determine where the jam is occurring.
5. Check to see if all the rollers are turning.

Good luck..

If all the rollers are turning, there may be something in the feed path that you can't see. Go to step 6.
If not, there is probably a feed motor or a gear problem and the printer may require service.
6. If the paper is jamming under the carrier assembly, you may be able to fix it using the manual feed slot.
7. Turn the printer off.
8. Take a #10 envelope and feed it through the left side of the manual feed slot until it comes right through the printer to the back of the exit rollers.
9. Move it up and down first, and then slowly move it over to the right side. If something is stuck under the black guide plate, this may work it loose.

SOURCE: major Paper Jam on Dell 5110

When working with any printer it's inevitable that you'll encounter a paper jam. Below are the steps you'll want to follow when this occurs.

1. Turn off the printer.
2. Inspect the location or tray the printed paper ejects to. If the stuck paper is visible manually remove it.*
3. Remove all paper trays and any paper that may be stuck between the tray and the printer. If the stuck paper is visible manually remove it.*
4. Open the printer door that allows you access to the printer ink cartridges or toner and look for any stuck paper. If the stuck paper is visible manually remove it.*
5. Turn the printer back on. If you continue to receive a printer jam error try repeating the above steps again.

If issue still persist and you see no paper that is stuck in the printer it's likely your printer is experiencing another hardware issue and we suggest contacting the printer manufacturer for additional assistance and/or repair. *

To manually remove paper pull on the paper with both hands being careful not to tear the paper while pulling it. If you're unable to get to an edge of the paper that allows you to pull it you may need to manually rotate the gears that feed the paper through the printer. Preventing a printer paper jam As mentioned earlier it is inevitable that you will encounter at least one paper jam during the life of your printer.

However, if you're encountering frequent paper jams following the below steps can help prevent paper jams from occurring. * If your printer has a paper tray do not fill the tray to capacity. If you're encountering frequent paper jams reduce the amount of paper you place in the tray each time it is filled. * Make sure you or the tray feeding the paper into the printer is aligned properly and/or the slider used to hold the paper in place in the tray is snug with the paper. Many printers have sliders that allow different types and sizes of paper to be fed into the printer. If the slider is not properly positioned it can cause paper jams. *

Use standard office paper; folded paper, paper with labels, and specialty paper such as hard bound paper can often cause paper jams. If you're uncertain with what type of paper you should use with your printer your printer documentation will list the types of paper compatible with your printer. * Do not mix the types of paper you're feeding into the printer at one time. If you need to change the type of paper or size of paper being used removed any other paper currently in the printer before inserting the new paper. * Examine the printer for any previous stuck paper in the printer. Previous paper jams, torn paper, printing labels or other foreign objects in the printer can cause reoccurring printer jams.
I hope this information allows you to resolve this issue.

How do I clean the rollers on my IBM Infoprint 1332??

Hello,

I most cases if you are having paper pickup issues with this unit the rollers will be worn down not just dirty. The pickup rollers that pull the paper from the paper tray on the bottom of the printer are not very expensive, they run about $4.00 We carry them in stock at: http://www.ccl-la.com/catalog/index.php?cPath=24_59_60 Replacing them would be much better than just cleaning the rollers. If you pull the paper tray out and look under the bottom of the printer you will see 2 small rollers with rubber tires on them. These are the pickup rollers, they should feed rough, if they feel smooth then they need to be replaced. We also carry the full preventive Maintenance roller kit that includes the pickup rollers, charge roller and the transfer roller. We provide full tech support for all purchases too.

I hope this helps, if so please rate our solution,

Error message is "Paper Jam" but there is no more paper in there...how to resolve?

Paper jam doesnt always mean a jam, it means that a sensor was not tripped in a time frame so the units limited brain assumes a jam. Your problem may be that the paper is not being pulled. Could be a dirty "tire" on the pickup roller as calcium whiteners in paper to make them brighter tend to stick to the rubber tire making it slick. A damp cloth to wipe the pickup surface of the roller usually works. You can use alcohol too but it may dry the rubber tire prematurely although most now are synthetics. Your model may allow user replacement of the roller instead so you would locate a parts source and get a new one and install. You may also need to find a shop to replace the roller. It could also be that mechanism that drives the roller is damaged. That would require a shop teardown and replacement of parts. The only other thing I can think of is that the tray is malfunctioning and is supposed to lift the paper and isn't. Either way if nothing in the path of the paper then it's not picking up but the printer only knows to give a jam error.

Dell 1700 printer doesn't pick up paper - have reversed the rubber rollers and still isn't picking up

It sounds as though the rollers are needing to be totally replaced. There are other rollers as well and pickup pads that need replacing after awhile. I suggest taking it to a Lexmark dealer as the Dell and Lexmark printers usually take similar parts. They may even sell you the parts to replace yourself if you know what you are doing.

Dell 1710 paper pickup roller bar does not drop down. Rollers do turn

Dell says throw it away. Dell Tech is $150 hr. 2 hr min. Cost prohibitive.
No user replacement parts available. Great system, I say with disgust.

Paper cannot pass the Fuser/pressure rollers

We have many of the 1700N printers and have found that the 2 paper pickup tires must be in good condition to avoid frequent jams. I would highly suggest replacing the 2 paper pickup tires if this printer has a lot of copies on it.You can slip the tires off of the plastic roller and see if they are shiny. If so, replace them.

Dell 1700 Transfer Roller

These series printers have a typical problem of the paper pickup rollers wearing out resulting in jams, crooked feeds and partial feeds. a quick fix:

take the paper tray out, turn the printer on edge and locate those two rubber roller bands on the pickup arm. Peel them off, flip them inside-out and return them to the rollers. This restores thier sticky rubber side so the papper feeds properly.

Now if you are a heavy printer, you can order some of these from dell for the next time. Washing these in handsaop and water works sometimes too. never use alcohol.

Dell 1700 laser printer wont load from tray only manual

This is a common misconception with this model printer. People say that the roller does not drop down to pick up the paper. With this model printer, the pickup rollers ONLY drop when the paper tray is inserted. If you look on the top left edge of the paper tray towards the front of the printer you will see 1 1/2" to 2" section where the plastic edge is raised about 1/2 an inch. This raised part in the plastic actually serves as the mechanism for dropping the pickup rollers on to the paper.

So... The solution DOES HAPPEN TO BE cleaning or replacing the pickup rolers/tires. Rubber rejuvinator is the best for cleaning the rollers, but buying a whole can that you may only use once or twice may be a bit overkill. You can try cleaning them with soapy water if you do not have any rubber rejuvinator. DO NOT use alcohol, as this will dry out the rollers and shorten their lifespan even more.

Dell 1700n Jamming

try "rotating the pick up tires". (dell tech's phrase, not mine). pull the paper tray clear out of cabinet and look up inside the bottom of the printer. you will see a t shaped assembly with 2 large rubber tires (rollers). pull the assembly down (spring loaded) and peel the tires off the plastic mounting rollers. turn the tires inside out and replace them.
