The little grabby thing that takes the paper to be scanned and rolls it through doesn't always grab. Suggestions? Is there a way to clean the rollers?

It does that once in a while and it is because the roller has not come down to engage the paper. I just push it down manually and it works again. Looks that needs to be reset.

The scanner comes with a cleaning pad. You might have dust on the scanner. Try using that. If that don't work I'd reinstall the scanner to your computer or you would h aft to contact newsman for service assistance. But cleaning it would be your best bet to start with

Sandy, this is a good printer, but before investing, contact Brother and find out if the paper curl can be remedied. There is a setting to "reduce paper curl" in the options menu of the printer, but it does not seem to fix the problem for me. It appears as though the roller location causes the paper to make a tight turn and therefore causes any type of paper to curl.

No, it has never done that and I have run reams of paper through it. Have you run the system utilities programs? That might help. Do you fan your paper before you put it in your paper tray?

I had a similar problem, and discovered a tiny piece of paper blocking the paper entry slot. I was able to remove it by passing through the paper entry site a very thin piece of plastic sheeting back and forth through every area of the entry slot to push out, what I then discovered was the tiny piece of paper that was 'jamming' the 'roller from revolving and grabbing a sheet to print. It corrected the problem and my printing began again.

There is likely pet hair or the like that is obstructing the roller from rolling. Once you take care of that it should be fine. I do it about every third time I vacuum. I have two dogs shed profusely. Great vacuum.

There should be white plastic rollers on the inside that roll down and pinch the paper once it is slipped into the rail. Pull the black end cap off and see if the rollers are jammed.

I'm sorry, I clicked yes by accident, but I have never had a problem with smearing. I would guess if it is smearing that there may be excess ink on the rollers. I would try to look up some ways of cleaning the rollers, I hope that helps.

There is a lever that separates the rollers in order to pull out a jammed paper. I think using that button caused my machine to lose tension on the rollers though. This machine didn't even last me through the hot pockets it came with!

My wife says that it may be the rollers that bring paper into the system ... if she has problems her first action is to clean these rollers with alcohol and q-tips .... hope something that simple can work for you.

Pam, not knowing how frequently you use your laminator and how much you laminate at any given time, it is hard to say what might be causing the wrinkling on the backside of your documents. My first guess is that the bottom roller needs to be cleaned, but how you go about doing this is a mystery to me! Keep in mind that this particular laminator is not a commercial laminator and depending on usage could just be worn out.

It might be that the printhead is dirty. I save that blue alignment/cleaning card at the bottom of the stack of photo paper and run it through again (put it back on the bottom, with the printed side down, and it'll run through when you close the paper compartment cover). I also put it back on the bottom if it's going to be a while before I use the printer again.

Yes. It's a piece of junk. Absolutely impossible to pull paper through without the edges getting caught.

Try wiping it with a damp soft cloth or tissue and if that doesn't work try printer maintenance (aligning, calibrating, etc...).
