ASF LD roller attempt
to load the paper.
But, paper is not loaded
at all. The LD roller
seems slipping.
Check the surface of the
LD roller if the micro
pearl or severe smear is
adhered.
If it is no problem,
proceed the next step.
Set a cleaning sheet in the
ASF up side down. Then
holding the top edge, try
to load the paper from the
Printer driver. The micro
pearl on the LD roller
surface is removed. To
remove severe smear,
staple a cloth moistened
with alcohol to a post card
and clean the roller in the
same manner.
If the problem is not
solved, replace the LD
unit with new one.
