Lexmark E260dn duplexer paper pickup

[lowell374]

The duplexer, on my Lexmark E260dn, will no longer properly grab the sheet and thus it jams and will not print the second side. I suspect that a roller or other device has become crazed or worn out. Anyone know how to take apart this printer and re-new the roller? I'd much prefer fixing the duplexer rather than buying a new printer.

Maybe a service manual will be helpful? You find one here.

Before you start to pull your printer to pieces, first try giving the feed rollers a clean with warm soapy water, use a toothbrush to give the rubber the once over, let the rollers dry for 1/2 hour and then try feeding a sheet through and with any luck, you should be back in business...

Thanks Peter. Unfortunately I do not have a username and password for the site you pointed to. So, unless you're willing to DL the manual, and somehow get it to me, I guess that method may not work; unless you know of a hack.

Thanks "The Hat". As soon as I can determine how to physically get to the roller I'll try your technique.

No login is needed to download the manual. The link opens a PDF file which can be saved. Here is one more link in case you cannot make the first link work.
