Paper feed problems Epson 740

Archived from groups: comp.periphs.printers (More info?)

Start with cleaning the rollers. Use some denatured alcohol. Push the paper
infeed button and hold a wetted rag against each roller. Also check for any
kind of debris or obstruction that may have gotten in the way of the paper
path.
