Based on the comments in Amazon where the liquid "melts" plastic and works by "melting" the top surface of old rubber, it sounded like nail polish remover aka acetone will do the job. So I tried acetone and am happy to report that it works in my Kyocera laser printer! I put a little in a cotton pad and rub the pick up roller. Thank you for the tip!
Lots of things will "work" temporarily by changing the surface, but will wreck the roller surface in the longer run. The spray rejuvenator is best because it actually soaks in. It cleans the surface. It makes the surface more "grabby". It makes the entire thickness of the rubber more pliable again. Many commercial printers and others have large expensive rollers on their printers and in other industries. Don't you think they would use cheap acetone if it was as good as this relatively expensive rejuvenator? If you read the MSDS of the product you will see various solvents, but they do not list the plasticizers which do much more because they can keep them a trade secret. Most people don't realize that and think they know it all…when they don't. People have used vegetable oil, acetone and other stuff which helps by affecting the top surface but eventually either gums up or have other undesirable outcomes. Acetone in particular will accelerate the removal of the plasticizers which help keep the rubber pliable. Acetone does not soften the rubber…it will still gradually harden and crack eventually. People make the same mistake on plastic surfaces of their car, and later realize that what looked good initially introduced more damage as time went by. That's why there are special products for cleaning car interiors. Rejuvenating the roller is about more than just the top layer of the rubber roller. It is does two things: it makes the top surface more "grabby" but also sinks in to make the entire roller more flexible…more like it was when it was new.
Thank you very very much! I gambled that the cartridge was bad. So I bought a new cartridge but kept the paper jam. :-( I saw your video and tried silikon spray instead. It worked too! The machine prints again! That saves me a lot of money! Thanks!
Paper was jamming in my Epson WF-3640. After multiple times, I could tell it was feeding to one side, causing the jam. This helped my Google search bring me to your video when I realized it was a paper feeding issue. I happened to have some Rubber Renue on hand which I had purchased for the rollers on my old printer. Worked like a charm and I could continue printing instead of just crinkling paper. Thanks!
I watched your video and was inspired to try something slightly different. I put a tiny drop of olive oil on a q-tip and gently applied it to the surface of the rubber roller. I then used a cotton swab to make sure I wiped up any excess oil. And now my printer works again! Whoopee!
+scrids Oh yeah, olive oil is a wonder! Good for you trying something new and different. But as it dries it will get tacky and might cause the rubber roller to disintegrate. Of course, I haven't seen any long term testing with olive oil so I can't say for sure!
Being 1) a guy, 2) cheap, 3) not wanting to wait for the rubber rejuvenator, and 4) having olive oil and q-tips, I tried this, and so far so good! Thanks for the video. I happen to have a printer that looks exactly the same, a Dell 1110, that seriously must be 20 years old! The printer just plain works, and does what I need at home while not in the office. Keeps me from having to spend $300 for an all-in-one laser a little while longer... Because of reason #1 noted above, I used scrid's method above, but unlike the guy putting "a tiny drop", I most likely put half a tablespoon in total on mine over the course of 2 hours, then let it fully dry/seep in overnight and tried it this morning. If I have any issues with the olive oil, I'll try and pay it forward as you did and write back to the group!
Can’t thank you enough.. the olive oil trick worked.. had to try 4 times till the oil wiped off the roller then it worked flawlessly!! Thanks dude!!!!!
This isn't the first video that provided this solution, but it certinly was a life-saver!! I had some better than average quality nail polish remover (not just acetone), and this worked like a champ!! This malfunction had been a real pain, as I'd needed to write an important letter a week ago!! (almost broke down and bought a new printer)!!
Good for you getting your roller working again! Acetone (and of course high quality nail polish remover) can do in a pinch. The trouble is it will help in the short run to make a new surface, but can wind up drying out or dissolving the rubber. That's why there are special sprays or liquids that rejuvenate the rubber in the roller. And of course I list all that stuff and where to get it on my web page: www.greendept.com/maximpulse/printer/index.html
My friend, you are a god!!!! I've had HP printers forever now and they always have paper jams despite there being nothing jammed, no ink or dust build up...etc. This video actually fixed the problem for me! My HP is only 2 years old I think. Next time I'm going with a Brother printer instead.
Good for you! I am pretty sold on Samsung laser printers and Epson inkjets. They both print nicely, can accept generic ink/laser cartridges and don't demand crazy expensive surprises down the road. it's especially cool to be able to add toner to a laser cartridge myself. I actually threw out a almost new Brother laser printer because they had some bogus requirement about having to buy an expensive drum after so many toner changes. That was years ago, but such experiences make a strong impression for or against brands.
Ah I see thanks. I may not get Brother then just to be safe. Don't care for surprises. We tend to use all in one printers. Do alot of faxing, scanning, printing...etc.
I had a Samsung all-in-one laser…it was something like the first six that turn up in this Amazon search: amzn.to/2x9DkGE It performed great for years and then I gave it to my daughter because I love her (and cuz I now use my Epson scanner). The main thing I'd look for is to pick whichever one seems to be the easiest to reach into in case of the rare paper jam (into the space below the scanner where the prints come out). By using the recharge kits it feels like free printing. The funny thing about recharging the Samsung toner cartridges is each cartridge has a fuse (like a little glass car fuse) that burns out when the toner is empty. The recharge kits on Amazon include replacement fuses. It isn't a big deal, you just have to know to change the fuse when you refill the cartridge. After 3 re-chargings I get a new after-market toner cartridge because the drum wears out. Those toner cartriges are pretty reasonable too (around $20). My inkjet is an Epson WF-7520. I have been very happy with it. It will print and scan up to 11x17. It's funny how every so often it's nice to be able to print poster size. or scan large things and then reduce them to 8.5x11. I buy my cartridges at www.ccs-digital.com (mercifully low prices). You can see the printer at Amazon here: amzn.to/2vKJooQ It's showing a ridiculous price of $549, and I know I got mine new for around $160…although it was being closed out because the model year was turning over. I see Office Depot/OfficeMax has an Epson WF 7620 for $199 and 20% off if you give them your email address. Hey! That magically brings it down to $160! Small world, isn't it?
Thank you, I just ordered the rejuvenator and cannot wait to try it. Thank God that I saw this video as I was just about to throw the printer away and buy a new one!.
fendonc You're welcome!Yeah, it's a hoot that the only thing that wears out on these printers is the rubber roller (and, of course, the toner cartridge).But replacing or simply rejuvenating the roller makes the darned printer like new again.I have three Samsung laser printers within 10 feet of me, all fixed with either rejuvenator or new rollers. In fact, a roller broke the other day and it was fun to have extra rollers in my closet. When I bought rollers I got extras just in case and it paid off. I'm a shameless pack rat, so it's nice that once in a while it makes me the hero (instead of just another hoarder)More info on my web site: @maximpulse/printer/index.html
"THAT" rubber NEEDS to be replaced since it is torn. Sure it is a hassle but well worth it if you know how to take the unit apart then back together. Since I already work on computers and printers I wouldn't hesitate to change it. But doing as he has here will probably make the printer work again for quite some time!
Good for you! Hand sanitizer is mostly alcohol and some glycerin, so it will clean off the paper dust that accumulates and makes the roller slippery. But rollers have oils that keep them flexible and alcohol will remove those oils so it accelerates drying out the roller. The best first step is to clean the roller with plain water. This can remove paper dust without drying out the rubber. To prevent drying or bring back the flexibility and grip of the rubber a rejuvenator does real magic.
Thanks - have a not-so-old Samsung that started jamming (coincidentally) after using a new batch of paper. Didn't have the rubber cleaner/rejuvenator you recommended, but, remembering my Cassete Player cleaning days, I used Isopropyl Alcohol which worked !!!
Ashley Orton I'm glad you got your printer feeding again!!! And yes, alcohol will clean the roller, but over time it may actually dry the roller out. So the roller gets harder and less grippy over time. If it gets too inflexible they can stop picking up or tear. Also, the roller rubber can shrink over time and the rejuvenator seems to make it puff up a little. The rejuvenator simply adds back the plasticizers that evaporate out over time.
Yes! I have been very pleased with how much positive difference applying some of this "rejuvenator" has made with my veteran Samsung laser printers. So do try the rejuvenator, but don't give up regardless. Once in a long while it's just time for a new rubber roller. It isn't all that hard to replace the rubber roller and they are pretty cheap (around $4). More info on my web page here (sources for rejuvenators & rollers): www.greendept.com/maximpulse/printer/ I have another UA-cam video showing how to install a new roller here: ua-cam.com/video/0U5UC5XU8ak/v-deo.html Go get 'em!
Yes, "any lubricant" may work for today, but can be far from ideal in the long run. The problem with using "any lubricant" is some evaporate away and others actually degrade the rubber and others become tacky crap over time. Even water can help temporarily but really just removes paper powder. Olive oil (yes someone used it) becomes thick and cruddy over time. WD40, the old go to solvent, might work today, but won't prevent drying, hardening and cracking down the road. And some lubricants can gradually dissolve rubber. A rejuvenator is neat because it penetrates and adds back the original "rubberizing" solvents that have off gassed over the years…making the roller more like it was when it was younger…more flexible and with a grippier surface.
Thanks for the tip. I'll come back and let you know if this works. I was getting ready to slam that printer on the floor, lol. You may have saved it. 😅
There are times when the pick up rollers are just bald the stuff you have is only a temp. fix. As long as the roller has some tread use a 250 grit paper and scuff it up....works for me. But thanks for the great tip.
Thanks for the additional idea! The rejuvenating stuff shown here seems to make the surface not only "grabbier" but it seems to puff up the surface, too. I guess rubber shrinks as it hardens, and this seems to reverse that. I have another video on how to replace the roller once it is beyond rejuvenating. ua-cam.com/video/0U5UC5XU8ak/v-deo.html
For the specific printer in the video, that roller looks "shot" enough to just replace instead of limping it along with a cleaner. Especially given how you can buy that part for less than the can of that spray. (I just paid $6.70, shipped, for the part, while that cleaner is $13-ish.) Now, this might be different if you are an IT department with a bunch of printers), but for a home user with just a single printer, replacement makes more sense.
That's why I have 2 videos. One about cleaning and maintenance, and the other about replacing the roller. Some people don't realize just cleaning the paper dust off the roller with some water may solve their problems. There is a wide range of situations and solutions. I realize if you present an exact list (cracked roller, only one printer, limping along) then replacement makes sense to resolve that situation. I went to a lot of time and effort to present more than one solution. You set up a false argument by presenting only two kinds of users, someone like you and the other an IT department and then try to apply that more widely. And only considering one variable, price of the part, is too limited. In many instances that quick application of rejuvenator makes the roller like new so it is not limping at all. It behaves like new. And that saves time which has a value for some people. So it isn't just the cost of the roller part. And if a person has that printer for years they may use the rejuvenator more than once. I made this video because I was curious about the rejuvenator and wanted to share my experience with others. I thought it might be helpful. Filming it took a while as it isn't easy getting a camera inside the printer. And editing actually takes a lot longer than the filming. Funny how I seem to get criticism from people who haven't contributed any videos to UA-cam. I spend hours making a video and you try to make it worthless with a few minutes of typing. Why don't you make a video showing a wide range of rollers and which ones should have which repairs? Perhaps accompanied by a spreadsheet with condition of roller, number of printers, mechanical aptitude of user, time required and cost of materials. Golly, you could go around and interview an array of people who have different numbers of printers and/or who fix others' printers, and even people who have lots of rollers but for some reason have no printers. My crystal ball is a little cloudy, but I don't see you doing anything. Nothing but typing comments. Please feel free to prove me wrong by contributing more than just trying to declare what makes the most sense to you.
Huh! Live and learn! I'm glad it helps to grab the paper, but the other problem is the rubber tends to dry out and crack over time. An advantage with a rejuvenator is that besides providing a grippy surface it also penetrates the rubber and softens it so it won't dry out and crack. I always have to be amazed at how these laser printers keep chugging along.
Nice temporary fix. You can do the same thing with a coffee filter and tap water. Any rookie tech knows that the roller should be replaced. If the rubber is broken, by all means it needs to be replaced. Also, the rejuvenator soaking in? It's very volatile and evaporates faster than it will "soak in". Also keep in mind that the solvent "eats" hard plastic. Don't get it on any hard plastic surface.
Richard Eklund I find this stuff really does soak in. it doesn't evaporate too fast at all. If you watch the video you will see it has lots of time to soak in. Golly , that's what the video is all about! And it did make the roller pliable and tacky again. Also, it didn't harm any plastic, but I did put down a sheet of paper to catch any drippings. There are several states a roller can be in so there are several ways to "fix" a roller, depending on what is wrong. When all that is wrong is the rubber has gotten hard, this stuff works great. And water won't make the rubber any softer, but it is a good solution when the problem is basically paper dust. I also have a video on how to replace the roller if that's what someone wants to do.
Before spending any money!! I have success with the smallest dab of washing-up liquid spread over the entire roller, a minute or so to dry. (dab = rice grain depending on roller size).
+Paul Nightingale Although I'm glad it works for you, I wouldn't suggest putting any kind of soap on the roller. Eventually soap will degrade the rubber.
unless it's jammed because of taking too much paper at once - then you need to disassemble it and fix the solenoid's foam... Which is somethimes super hard if you aren't experienced (I'm repair technician)
I hadn't heard of this problem. These printers have so many moving parts…it's amazing they continue to work after all these years and so many prints. Fortunately a worn or old roller seems to be the most common problem and is a relatively easy fix.
Genius tip - to undo the two clips, cross your hands over and use the fingernail of your left forefinger to pull back the right clip, and the fingernail of your right forefinger to pull back the right clip, both at the same time. Easy peasy! Also there is often a part of the roller that is in better condition, so you can bring it round to the position where the roller is currently white from rubbing against 10 years of paper. Another video suggests turning the roller inside out.
Hi Peter, Thanks for commenting. I like the hand over hand idea. Ain't it something how much our peace of mind depends on that one part of the printer? I just made up the "tools" I used because the available space is so darned limited and it's hard to see and often I have no excess fingernails to grab stuff. Rotating the roller and turning it inside out are all options. I have another video on replacing the roller completely. I suppose one of these days someone will show how to do it with a gun. Replacing the roller completely: ua-cam.com/video/0U5UC5XU8ak/v-deo.html
It works for 5-6 feeds, but NOT MORE. I checked: 0,1 mm worn away when my printer did not want to reliably feed paper - which you cannot "rejuvenate". BTW replacement part in EBay/Alibaba is about $1+$3 international shipping ... and you have a not-worn/not-torn pickup roller. That's my 2 cents.
Thanks for your comment on your experience! Rejuvenating can help a rubber roller to last longer and be more "grabby" so it feeds better. In other words, it can be a good maintenance action and it is an easy thing to do…easier and quicker than changing the roller. Also, if a spot on the roller has worn too much, then one can loosen it and turn it a bit so a new spot becomes the pickup area. Rejuvenating the rubber can make it more flexible in general. And then rejuvenating can also help to keep that new spot from wearing away as quickly and help it to grab better, too. Interestingly, an old, dried out roller can shrink, so the rejuvenator can allow it to become a bit thicker sometimes. But if the rubber has truly worn away then either turning and rejuvenating is called for, or a new roller. Thanks for your comment on my video on how to replace the roller here: ua-cam.com/video/0U5UC5XU8ak/v-deo.html
You are very welcome! Well done fixing your printer! Sometimes the problem is simply "paper dust" on the roller. The dust makes the roller slip and not feed paper nicely. Cleaning off the roller with water (a slightly damp paper towel or bit of cloth) is definitely the first thing to try!
For the dust on the roller, if it is accessible enough use tape to clean it? Just be careful not to leave that tape in the printer. I used to work in a place that printed ID cards. One of the consumables used in the printer was a pink tape that was particularly sticky and that was cleaning tape. It was like pink flypaper. Probably pink so you could see the dirt more easily to decide when to change it. It was used to clean the card feed rollers so that the cards would not get jammed in there so much because in those printers there was not a whole lot of room to get at a stuck card.
John Doe I don't know about using regular tape, but there is are special papers for running through the printer to clean out the paper path. I've used them sometimes and they work especially well for cleaning excess toner out of hard-to-get-at places inside a printer. I have some more info and links to those papers and other printer products for getting one's printer to feed properly on my web page here: www.maximpulse.com/printer/
I would not use Wurth because it "Protects and restores gloss and color to rubber"…you DON'T want glossy rubber…that would make the roller slip instead of grabbing a sheet of paper. Also, I would not use WD40 because it is a lubricant which is not a rubber rejuvenator plus it might transfer oils to your paper. A rubber rejuvenator makes the rubber springy and also makes the surface more "grabby". Look on my page here to see various rubber rejuvenators are available: maximpulse.com/printer/
Interesting idea,but I don't know about belt dressing…it may or may not be appropriate. There's nothing to be gained by gambling on a product made for some other purpose. I know the rubber renewer works beautifully and it's only $8. www.greendept.com/maximpulse/printer/index.html
Excellent video, thanks. Feedback on Amazon - where a can sells for $7.82 - indicates that gloves are a good idea, or one can feel itch and burn, and that the spray will ruin plastic (strong solvents). Turning the rubber inside out will work if it's not too cracked - it could break. Rubber is soft due to plasticizers, similar to solvents, and when they outgas (hence the smell of rubber), the rubber becomes dry and hard, especially in hot, dry climates. This product replaces some of the lost plasticizers by using solvents to carry them into the rubber where they soften the rubber. Soft rubber grabs paper, and dry, cracked rubber won't. Lastly, some printers use the same part of the rubber roller to feed paper, and it may be hard to reach all of the roller with a wipe, so you can unplug the printer in mid-feed to reach the part that's normally hidden or inaccessible. 20 years ago, HP used to provide a piece of cardboard with two small patches of sandpaper glued on, for the purpose of restoring rubber feed rollers (old DeskJets). You place the sheet in the paper tray and try to print, the rollers scrape on the sandpaper and that removes some of the hard, dry rubber from the surface, exposing the softer rubber. But Sprayway's treatment is better.
Thanks for the comment! Yes, I agree this rejuvenator soaks into the rubber and makes it softer and more flexible and makes the roller's surface grab better. It might even make it less likely to crack…which the rubber can do when it gets too hard and inflexible. I had no trouble reaching all around the roller. It takes a bit of care, but the wet pad can be bent around and even guided by a paper clip if one needs to.
Two thoughts. First, you can try running cleaner sheets through the printer to clear out leftover toner. Here is an example of these cleaner sheets: amzn.to/2NFMZJ5 Second, with the Samsung printers the drum and toner are one single unit. I often add toner, but after a few refills I have to buy a rebuilt toner/drum/blade and throw out the old one. Here is the kind of rebuilt cartridge I am talking about: amzn.to/2AcJYhQ It's funny, getting a whole new cartridge is cheaper than the cleaner sheets! I hope this helps a little.
Usually white rollers are nylon-type plastic. Sort of guides or hold-down thingies. I don't know about the grabbing roller(s) on a Brother. I'm not a real repairman, just a guy who fixed his Samsung printer.
I have set up my "trusty" HP 4P this evening. It was printing, but somehow, while wiping the inside, now I am getting the 13 Paper Jam. Can I use Super X Belt Dressing spray? "Eliminates slipping, preserves all types of belts" as stated on the can? Thanks!
I used a quick spray of belt dressing on a Q-Tip. Lightly rubbed it on the roller, especially on the leading edge and let dry for 10 mins. Now both of my old Samsung ML-2510's work great ! :-)
i can't really diagnose this, but you can look inside and see if there are two rubber rollers pulling the paper in. If there are, then you can try cleaning them so they both grab the paper. More info on cleaning rollers here: maximpulse.com/printer/
i dink ur robbing the liquid off over n over again after the initial coatings. but thx for this video. i'll try on mine. i wonder if my 20lb paper is too thick. but i can't find thinner sheets locally.
@@schutendohkji548 Are you using the Sprayway Rejuvenator or what? I have a lot more info about different ways to fix this here: www.maximpulse.com/printer/
I am using my inkjet right now, but as I recall the roller only rotates when it is grabbing a piece of paper and drawing it in to be printed. I'm not a repairman so I don't know exactly what to do if it doesn't move. The roller snaps in, so maybe it isn't snapped in all the way?
If you start using the rejuvenator before the roller gets too dried out and cracked up your roller could last "forever". Using the rejuvenator doesn't just clean, it re-softens the rubber so it doesn't crack or get rubbed away. I have some rollers that are still the originals after over 10 years, but others that I decided to replace and then try to rejuvenate them periodically.
McKees 37 is a "heavy-duty cleaner and degreaser" for tires, but that is very different from a rubber rejuvenator. On my web page I list 5 different products that rejuvenate rubber. Look in the Renew section here: www.greendept.com/maximpulse/tools/fixing_paper_jams.html#renew-with-rejuvenator One of them ought to be available near you…where in the world are you located?
my printer is barely 6 months old and already the rollers are crap. but then again, all IBM/MS Windows style printers suck! I preferred the old Apple II printers that had spikes that stuck in holes in paper.
+fucheduck I have been surprised at how reliable these Samsung laser printers have been…except for the rubber rollers! Now that I know how to renew and/or replace them, I feel like they are probably good until I die.
As far as printing goes I still have an old Laserjet 5si. It wont die. If anything breaks on it I can fix as fixing printers/copiers is part of what I do for a living.
maximpulse i've always said if you can find one and only need black and white, find a Laserjet 4, 5, 5si/8000/8100/8150, 4000/4050 series. They may be dated but there are thousands of those still in use for good reason: They work, easy to fix and for those brave enough, plenty of youtube videos on how to and parts are plentiful. Properly maintained, they last forever.
maximpulse Magic 101: Platinum Xtreme Potectant. No oily residues. You might want to wait until the gel or solution dried. I think others brand will do too, as long as one with not residue left.
***** One other point: the Rejuvenator has ingredients that specifically re-soften hardened rubber. I don't know what other products have in them. They might clean and make a nice surface, but I don't know if they will actually make the rubber "younger" (more like when it was soft and new and "grabby").
Yes, alcohol ultimately dries out the rubber. The same way alcohol cleans your skin but dries it out. The rejuvenator makes the rubber softer and the surface feels "grabby". Like when it was new.
ahmed albeiti Hi Ahmed, You can use this rejuvenator on any rubber roller to make it pliable and grippy again. Try cleaning it with a little water first, and if that doesn't do the trick, go to my web page for links to this product and other products (like sheets to run through to clean your printer). www.maximpulse.com/printer/
Golly, I went and looked at the MSDS again and the list of ingredients. Then I read a bit about hardening of rubber over time. Then I realized I'd wished I'd taken chemistry in high school. Some topics are like diving down Alice's rabbit hole. So simply, the Rejuvenator first "Removes glaze from gum, friction, ink, coatings, oxidation, and light embossing" (quote from the Sprayway site). Then plasticizers (AKA softeners) soak into the rubber. Third, the carrier solvents evaporate, leaving a renewed roller. I don't believe I am actually answering your specific question, but that's the simple answer. The actual contents of the Sprayway rejuvenator (from their MSDS) are 30-40% Light Aliphatic Solvent Naphtha 20-30% Propylene Glycol Monomethyl Ether 107-98-2 20 - 30 15-20% 2-Methyl-2,4-Pentanediol 107-41-5 15 - 20 8-10% Dipropylene Glycol Methyl Ether 34590-94-8 10 - 15 3-5% Isopropyl Alcohol .1 - 1% Other Perhaps that info will give you some starting point for your info quest. There is another rubber cleaner and renewer product that has stronger chemicals. More info on that and more at my web page www.greendept.com/maximpulse/printer/index.html Good enough?
I think most rubber rejuvenators are similar and should work on any rubber roller, but some products are sprays and other are a liquid in a bottle. I have a whole bunch of links to various products on my web page for you to look at: www.greendept.com/maximpulse/printer/index.html
I would NOT use WD40. The idea is to make the rubber grab the paper. WD40 is a lubricant and might make it slippery. Go to my web page and I list other products than the 203: maximpulse.com/printer/ Where in the world do you live?
I had a huge paper jam and ever since I pulled to get the paper, my HP all-in-one inkjet does not pick up paper and I can't even seem to find anything that spins to pick up paper. I restarted the printer spool and nothing spins. Is my printer hopeless? I would really like to fix rather than throw away and of course it is more expensive to send it to get fixed than buy a new. Any suggestions? Thank you very much in advance.
I have to admit I am familiar with Samsung and Epsom printers, but not HP printers. Did the entire sheet of paper come out when you pulled to remove it? Sometimes a bit of paper can be stuck inside in front of a sensor so the printer won't spin up when you start it. What model HP printer do you have?
I have another video on how to replace the roller, too! ua-cam.com/video/0U5UC5XU8ak/v-deo.html It is amazing how beaten up a roller can be and still work, especially if one uses the rejuvenator periodically. I have replaced some rollers, but often it isn't necessary. Some folks just turn the roller a bit and then keep going…that exposes a new area of the rubber.
Wish I could help, but I am not familiar with that printer. If you tore the paper when pulling it out, you might have to get in there to remove small pieces of paper that are blocking the paper path. But that is only a guess! It can be hard to "get in there" with any printer!
No friend .... There is no paper in the printer! I pulled the paper and tore it not not he out automatically by the printer itself !! but is not pulling to print !!! Someone there without u know help me ???

If you go to my web page you will see there are several products which can renew rubber rollers: maximpulse.com/printer/ Perhaps you can find one of these locally or that can be shipped to you.
Good video!! ...but your rubber roller is almost dead. (sniff!) For cleaning lot of people use isopropylic alcool (certainly your rejuvenator) ...but I simply use a little glass wipe , very cheap, very good degreaser, cleaning is perfect and very fast , immediately dry , no damage for the rubber , and the roller hooks perfectly. I take care no more touch the roller with my fingers after cleaning.
Using any "degreaser" is a big mistake. Alcohol especially will dry out the rubber and cause it to fail sooner. Rubber has natural oils that keep it flexible. The best thing to use first is simply cleaning the roller with plain water. Sometimes the immediate reason for slipping is because there is slippery dust from paper on the roller. Cleaning it with water can remove that dust and will often fix the problem. The rejuvenator soaks in to make the rubber more flexible and grip better. More like it was when it was new. Glass cleaner or alcohol might seem to work in the short run, but not in the long run. It might look like there is no damage, but it takes a while for rubber to dry out and glass cleaner won't prevent that. If it removes the oils in the rubber it will make the roller age faster. And sure, I have occasionally replaced an entire roller. I have another video on that very topic here: ua-cam.com/video/0U5UC5XU8ak/v-deo.html
puedes limpiar una y otra vez el rodillo de alimentacion pero ese rodillo esta malo al punto que ya se rajo , el wd 40 tiene el mismo efecto que el que logras con ese producto saludos suerte
I agree that sometimes the rubber roller needs to be replaced. I have another video showing that here: ua-cam.com/video/0U5UC5XU8ak/v-deo.html But I would NOT use WD40 on the rubber. It might lubricate the rubber, but it will not rejuvenate it. Also, WD40 tastes terrible!
I have a web page with lots of alternatives at www.greendept.com/maximpulse/printer/index.html I also have another video on how to simply change the rubber roller at ua-cam.com/video/0U5UC5XU8ak/v-deo.html Here's a quote from my web site to get you started: "CLEAN - If it is simply dusty it slips. So first try cleaning off the roller with water or rubbing alcohol (let it dry). RENEW - If the surface is "shiny" (slightly worn) it can't grab the paper. Apply roller cleaner [the spray in my video] to make the surface "tacky" so it can grab the paper. ROTATE - With a slightly worn belt, you can remove the pickup roller, and either turn it inside out or rotate the belt and re-install it. REPLACE - If the belt is cracked or worn down, remove and replace the rubber belt (or the belt and the core that holds it)." And then there is more info on each of these options! Hope this helps!!!
What is the symptom? What is the bad printing result? If it still isn't feeding, the next step is to replace the roller. There's a link to that video on my web page: www.greendept.com/maximpulse/printer/index.html With streaked prints it can help to remover the toner cartridge, shake it left and right (sideways) to distribute the toner evenly, put it back in. Usually that helps to create a more evenly inked image.
This video shows how to renew a hard rubber roller. I also have a video which shows how to replace the roller completely. ua-cam.com/video/0U5UC5XU8ak/v-deo.html And I don't tear apart the printer. I see you are quick to criticize but have no videos of your own to contribute.
Thank you sir, this has been a really annoying issue for me. THNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Nintenloup Wolf (FR) I'm glad your printer roller is still working. But they do dry out over time, so you might want to use a rejuvenator on it so it lasts another 5 years. Up to you, of course!
I dunno! I haven't used auto belt restorer in a long time! But I seem to recall the car stuff was very tacky. The printer rejuvenator is very thin and it isn't tacky. The rejuvenator does make the belt rubber grabbier by softening the rubber a little, but isn't tacky or sticky itself.
I'm glad if that worked for you. The trouble with silicone spray is it can transfer to the paper and then be carried through the entire print path. The rejuvenator is specifically made to make the rubber soft again but to also be compatible with the rest of the printer. I'd bet you won't have any problems from the silicone, but I mention the difference here because someone else might not realize there is a real difference.
The paper should be loosely held in the paper tray. If the guides are adjusted too tight, the paper will be clamped in the tray. The result is that the paper will bind on the sides, and the lift mechanism will be unable to lift the paper to the rollers.
I actually ended up filing some plastic away so that the guides would open an extra little bit because the paper always seemed to be squeezed by the guides. Worked great afterwards.
John Doe The cleaner/ rejuvenator label says it contains some kind of naphtha, alcohol and other chemicals with names too long for me to type in here. BUT there is no silicone listed. You don't want to make the roller slippery with silicone, you want to renew the rubber and make it flexible and slightly tacky. The cleaner & rejuvenator does that. More info on my web page here: www.maximpulse.com/printer/
here are 4 different roller cleaner and rubber rejuvenators: www.greendept.com/maximpulse/printer/index.html You'll also find links to where you can get replacement rollers! A whole new world is opening up for you.
+aguilayserpiente Golly, completely different! I don't know the chemical analysis off the cuff, but the renewal spray soaks in a seems to make the rubber "like new" with a slightly grabby surface. When I've used Armor All it left a surface coating that was either greasy or shiny and hard. Neither of those effects would help the rubber pickup roller.
I made this video and I can say it sure has worked for me on my printer rollers. It really does make the surface it like it was new again. For me it has lasted years, but it probably would be good to re-apply more often than I do! What exact thing did you try?
The isopropyl is a good cleaner, however you dried the rubber out even more. It will work temporarily but excelled the liftime of the roller. You now need this rejuvenator for the roller.
+Sony Trinitron Alcohol will work about as well as water to get it working again temporarily…both will simply clean the paper dust off the roller. BUT alcohol will gradually dry out the rubber roller so it will eventually crack and disintegrate. So it's better to use water to clean it off. If that doesn't do a good enough job, order some of the rejuvenator stuff and use that (link below). The cleaner/rejuvenator is best because it adds softeners to the rubber…makes it young and flexible again…makes the surface "grabby"…so it won't crack and it can grab the paper like when it was young and in love :-) I have a web page with links to where to get this stuff: www.greendept.com/maximpulse/printer/index.html One can will last you a lifetime!
maximpulse I think I loosened the roller but couldn't remove it then left it like that and then turned the printer on and the noise came. when I checked inside, roller was not where it used to be. jammed somewhere. I hope I can fix it. thanks anyways.
HP has a good instructional page on changing the roller here: support.hp.com/us-en/document/c00381992 Did you remove the toner cartridge to get to the roller?
I looked at eBay.ph and found this: Martin Yale Rubber Roller Cleaner & Rejuvenator - PRE200 It gets excellent reviews by users. www.ebay.ph/itm/Martin-Yale-Rubber-Roller-Cleaner-Rejuvenator-PRE200-/181211682501?hash=item2a310ed6c5:g:gRsAAOxyYTRSZFff It is PHP 897.51 including free shipping. I hope this helps! You can find a lot of other products by searching on "rubber rejuvenator" on eBay or maybe Amazon.
I have fixed three printers in our lab already. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!
You are velcomb, Igor!!!
Ain't UA-cam a cool place…like the biggest library ever?
maximpulse
Yes, Master.
Based on the comments in Amazon where the liquid "melts" plastic and works by "melting" the top surface of old rubber, it sounded like nail polish remover aka acetone will do the job. So I tried acetone and am happy to report that it works in my Kyocera laser printer! I put a little in a cotton pad and rub the pick up roller.
Thank you for the tip!
Lots of things will "work" temporarily by changing the surface, but will wreck the roller surface in the longer run.
The spray rejuvenator is best because it actually soaks in. It cleans the surface. It makes the surface more "grabby". It makes the entire thickness of the rubber more pliable again.
Many commercial printers and others have large expensive rollers on their printers and in other industries. Don't you think they would use cheap acetone if it was as good as this relatively expensive rejuvenator?
If you read the MSDS of the product you will see various solvents, but they do not list the plasticizers which do much more because they can keep them a trade secret. Most people don't realize that and think they know it all…when they don't.
People have used vegetable oil, acetone and other stuff which helps by affecting the top surface but eventually either gums up or have other undesirable outcomes. Acetone in particular will accelerate the removal of the plasticizers which help keep the rubber pliable. Acetone does not soften the rubber…it will still gradually harden and crack eventually. People make the same mistake on plastic surfaces of their car, and later realize that what looked good initially introduced more damage as time went by. That's why there are special products for cleaning car interiors.
Rejuvenating the roller is about more than just the top layer of the rubber roller. It is does two things: it makes the top surface more "grabby" but also sinks in to make the entire roller more flexible…more like it was when it was new.
Thank you very very much! I gambled that the cartridge was bad. So I bought a new cartridge but kept the paper jam. :-( I saw your video and tried silikon spray instead. It worked too! The machine prints again! That saves me a lot of money! Thanks!
Paper was jamming in my Epson WF-3640. After multiple times, I could tell it was feeding to one side, causing the jam. This helped my Google search bring me to your video when I realized it was a paper feeding issue. I happened to have some Rubber Renue on hand which I had purchased for the rollers on my old printer. Worked like a charm and I could continue printing instead of just crinkling paper. Thanks!
Yay! The collective wisdom of UA-cam does it it again!!!
I watched your video and was inspired to try something slightly different. I put a tiny drop of olive oil on a q-tip and gently applied it to the surface of the rubber roller. I then used a cotton swab to make sure I wiped up any excess oil. And now my printer works again! Whoopee!
+scrids
Oh yeah, olive oil is a wonder! Good for you trying something new and different.
But as it dries it will get tacky and might cause the rubber roller to disintegrate.
Of course, I haven't seen any long term testing with olive oil so I can't say for sure!
What about avocado oil ?
Being 1) a guy, 2) cheap, 3) not wanting to wait for the rubber rejuvenator, and 4) having olive oil and q-tips, I tried this, and so far so good! Thanks for the video. I happen to have a printer that looks exactly the same, a Dell 1110, that seriously must be 20 years old! The printer just plain works, and does what I need at home while not in the office. Keeps me from having to spend $300 for an all-in-one laser a little while longer...
Because of reason #1 noted above, I used scrid's method above, but unlike the guy putting "a tiny drop", I most likely put half a tablespoon in total on mine over the course of 2 hours, then let it fully dry/seep in overnight and tried it this morning.
If I have any issues with the olive oil, I'll try and pay it forward as you did and write back to the group!
Mejor echarle aceite de silicona. El que se usa para las copiadoras y queda muy bien.
Can’t thank you enough.. the olive oil trick worked.. had to try 4 times till the oil wiped off the roller then it worked flawlessly!! Thanks dude!!!!!
This isn't the first video that provided this solution, but it certinly was a life-saver!! I had some better than average quality nail polish remover (not just acetone), and this worked like a champ!! This malfunction had been a real pain, as I'd needed to write an important letter a week ago!! (almost broke down and bought a new printer)!!
Good for you getting your roller working again!
Acetone (and of course high quality nail polish remover) can do in a pinch. The trouble is it will help in the short run to make a new surface, but can wind up drying out or dissolving the rubber. That's why there are special sprays or liquids that rejuvenate the rubber in the roller. And of course I list all that stuff and where to get it on my web page: www.greendept.com/maximpulse/printer/index.html
My friend, you are a god!!!! I've had HP printers forever now and they always have paper jams despite there being nothing jammed, no ink or dust build up...etc. This video actually fixed the problem for me! My HP is only 2 years old I think. Next time I'm going with a Brother printer instead.
Good for you!
I am pretty sold on Samsung laser printers and Epson inkjets. They both print nicely, can accept generic ink/laser cartridges and don't demand crazy expensive surprises down the road. it's especially cool to be able to add toner to a laser cartridge myself.
I actually threw out a almost new Brother laser printer because they had some bogus requirement about having to buy an expensive drum after so many toner changes. That was years ago, but such experiences make a strong impression for or against brands.
Ah I see thanks. I may not get Brother then just to be safe. Don't care for surprises. We tend to use all in one printers. Do alot of faxing, scanning, printing...etc.
I had a Samsung all-in-one laser…it was something like the first six that turn up in this Amazon search: amzn.to/2x9DkGE
It performed great for years and then I gave it to my daughter because I love her (and cuz I now use my Epson scanner). The main thing I'd look for is to pick whichever one seems to be the easiest to reach into in case of the rare paper jam (into the space below the scanner where the prints come out). By using the recharge kits it feels like free printing.
The funny thing about recharging the Samsung toner cartridges is each cartridge has a fuse (like a little glass car fuse) that burns out when the toner is empty. The recharge kits on Amazon include replacement fuses. It isn't a big deal, you just have to know to change the fuse when you refill the cartridge. After 3 re-chargings I get a new after-market toner cartridge because the drum wears out. Those toner cartriges are pretty reasonable too (around $20).
My inkjet is an Epson WF-7520. I have been very happy with it. It will print and scan up to 11x17. It's funny how every so often it's nice to be able to print poster size. or scan large things and then reduce them to 8.5x11.
I buy my cartridges at www.ccs-digital.com (mercifully low prices).
You can see the printer at Amazon here: amzn.to/2vKJooQ
It's showing a ridiculous price of $549, and I know I got mine new for around $160…although it was being closed out because the model year was turning over. I see Office Depot/OfficeMax has an Epson WF 7620 for $199 and 20% off if you give them your email address. Hey! That magically brings it down to $160! Small world, isn't it?
Thank you, I just ordered the rejuvenator and cannot wait to try it. Thank God that I saw this video as I was just about to throw the printer away and buy a new one!.
fendonc You're welcome!Yeah, it's a hoot that the only thing that wears out on these printers is the rubber roller (and, of course, the toner cartridge).But replacing or simply rejuvenating the roller makes the darned printer like new again.I have three Samsung laser printers within 10 feet of me, all fixed with either rejuvenator or new rollers. In fact, a roller broke the other day and it was fun to have extra rollers in my closet. When I bought rollers I got extras just in case and it paid off. I'm a shameless pack rat, so it's nice that once in a while it makes me the hero (instead of just another hoarder)More info on my web site: @maximpulse/printer/index.html
Thank you! This saved me tech fees for our office printer! I'll try it at work this morning before the bossman shows up 😉🙌
I am imagining you secretly repairing the printer! Your own version of Mission Impossible. Good luck!
"THAT" rubber NEEDS to be replaced since it is torn. Sure it is a hassle but well worth it if you know how to take the unit apart then back together. Since I already work on computers and printers I wouldn't hesitate to change it. But doing as he has here will probably make the printer work again for quite some time!
I only had hand sanitizer available. It worked like a charm, but took a few minutes before it soaked in and then it started. Thanks for this tip!
Good for you! Hand sanitizer is mostly alcohol and some glycerin, so it will clean off the paper dust that accumulates and makes the roller slippery. But rollers have oils that keep them flexible and alcohol will remove those oils so it accelerates drying out the roller.
The best first step is to clean the roller with plain water. This can remove paper dust without drying out the rubber.
To prevent drying or bring back the flexibility and grip of the rubber a rejuvenator does real magic.
Witam. Fajne są też dźwięki do makiety tego przejazdu. Profesjonalna robota. Łapka w górę! Pozdrawiam.
Thanks - have a not-so-old Samsung that started jamming (coincidentally) after using a new batch of paper. Didn't have the rubber cleaner/rejuvenator you recommended, but, remembering my Cassete Player cleaning days, I used Isopropyl Alcohol which worked !!!
Ashley Orton
I'm glad you got your printer feeding again!!!
And yes, alcohol will clean the roller, but over time it may actually dry the roller out. So the roller gets harder and less grippy over time. If it gets too inflexible they can stop picking up or tear. Also, the roller rubber can shrink over time and the rejuvenator seems to make it puff up a little.
The rejuvenator simply adds back the plasticizers that evaporate out over time.
Can't wait to try this. Will be ordering this tonight. Hopefully, this will work and save me from buying a new printer. Thanks for sharing!
Yes! I have been very pleased with how much positive difference applying some of this "rejuvenator" has made with my veteran Samsung laser printers.
So do try the rejuvenator, but don't give up regardless. Once in a long while it's just time for a new rubber roller. It isn't all that hard to replace the rubber roller and they are pretty cheap (around $4).
More info on my web page here (sources for rejuvenators & rollers):
www.greendept.com/maximpulse/printer/
I have another UA-cam video showing how to install a new roller here:
ua-cam.com/video/0U5UC5XU8ak/v-deo.html
Go get 'em!
Thank you very much for your solution ! It worked perfectly. I did not used a rubber solution but any lubricant would do the job !
Yes, "any lubricant" may work for today, but can be far from ideal in the long run.
The problem with using "any lubricant" is some evaporate away and others actually degrade the rubber and others become tacky crap over time. Even water can help temporarily but really just removes paper powder. Olive oil (yes someone used it) becomes thick and cruddy over time. WD40, the old go to solvent, might work today, but won't prevent drying, hardening and cracking down the road. And some lubricants can gradually dissolve rubber.
A rejuvenator is neat because it penetrates and adds back the original "rubberizing" solvents that have off gassed over the years…making the roller more like it was when it was younger…more flexible and with a grippier surface.
Thanks for the tip. I'll come back and let you know if this works. I was getting ready to slam that printer on the floor, lol. You may have saved it. 😅
thank you. I hadn't had the printer for six months when it broke. glad its working again.
Yay1 I'm glad made it work again.
Same issue on Ricoh printer, success to fix paper jam by rubbing with cotton and little water, thank you!
Yes! Good for you! Very often the problem is simply some "paper powder" on the roller and water cleans it off without damaging the rubber.
Thanks for commenting!
Our printer has been feeding with no problems since we did this.
And I'll have to see why not soda...
There are times when the pick up rollers are just bald the stuff you have is only a temp. fix. As long as the roller has some tread use a 250 grit paper and scuff it up....works for me. But thanks for the great tip.
Thanks for the additional idea! The rejuvenating stuff shown here seems to make the surface not only "grabbier" but it seems to puff up the surface, too. I guess rubber shrinks as it hardens, and this seems to reverse that.
I have another video on how to replace the roller once it is beyond rejuvenating. ua-cam.com/video/0U5UC5XU8ak/v-deo.html
For the specific printer in the video, that roller looks "shot" enough to just replace instead of limping it along with a cleaner. Especially given how you can buy that part for less than the can of that spray. (I just paid $6.70, shipped, for the part, while that cleaner is $13-ish.)
Now, this might be different if you are an IT department with a bunch of printers), but for a home user with just a single printer, replacement makes more sense.
That's why I have 2 videos. One about cleaning and maintenance, and the other about replacing the roller.
Some people don't realize just cleaning the paper dust off the roller with some water may solve their problems. There is a wide range of situations and solutions. I realize if you present an exact list (cracked roller, only one printer, limping along) then replacement makes sense to resolve that situation. I went to a lot of time and effort to present more than one solution.
You set up a false argument by presenting only two kinds of users, someone like you and the other an IT department and then try to apply that more widely. And only considering one variable, price of the part, is too limited.
In many instances that quick application of rejuvenator makes the roller like new so it is not limping at all. It behaves like new. And that saves time which has a value for some people. So it isn't just the cost of the roller part. And if a person has that printer for years they may use the rejuvenator more than once.
I made this video because I was curious about the rejuvenator and wanted to share my experience with others. I thought it might be helpful. Filming it took a while as it isn't easy getting a camera inside the printer. And editing actually takes a lot longer than the filming.
Funny how I seem to get criticism from people who haven't contributed any videos to UA-cam. I spend hours making a video and you try to make it worthless with a few minutes of typing. Why don't you make a video showing a wide range of rollers and which ones should have which repairs? Perhaps accompanied by a spreadsheet with condition of roller, number of printers, mechanical aptitude of user, time required and cost of materials. Golly, you could go around and interview an array of people who have different numbers of printers and/or who fix others' printers, and even people who have lots of rollers but for some reason have no printers.
My crystal ball is a little cloudy, but I don't see you doing anything. Nothing but typing comments. Please feel free to prove me wrong by contributing more than just trying to declare what makes the most sense to you.
Just got a price on a pickup roller for an HP Laser Jet........$145.00. That's more than I paid for the printer.
holy shit. I've never seen this commenter-poster in this position before 😂
Gorilla Snot for Guitar worked for me, (Sticky for holding guitar picks). Just applied to pickup roller.
Huh! Live and learn! I'm glad it helps to grab the paper, but the other problem is the rubber tends to dry out and crack over time.
An advantage with a rejuvenator is that besides providing a grippy surface it also penetrates the rubber and softens it so it won't dry out and crack.
I always have to be amazed at how these laser printers keep chugging along.
it really works !!!....i never expect the solution to be like this...thanks a lot
Thanks for your positive comment! I like to say, "It's amazing anything ever works at all!"
Thanks so much for the video. It works on my Samsung laser printer.
Same printer as you, same problem, will try this asap, and try also on the document feeder at the scanner
Good for you! As long at the roller isn't too worn or cracked this is an amazing cure. It makes the roller "grabby" again, and lasts a long time.
Nice temporary fix. You can do the same thing with a coffee filter and tap water. Any rookie tech knows that the roller should be replaced. If the rubber is broken, by all means it needs to be replaced. Also, the rejuvenator soaking in? It's very volatile and evaporates faster than it will "soak in". Also keep in mind that the solvent "eats" hard plastic. Don't get it on any hard plastic surface.
Richard Eklund
I find this stuff really does soak in. it doesn't evaporate too fast at all. If you watch the video you will see it has lots of time to soak in. Golly , that's what the video is all about! And it did make the roller pliable and tacky again.
Also, it didn't harm any plastic, but I did put down a sheet of paper to catch any drippings.
There are several states a roller can be in so there are several ways to "fix" a roller, depending on what is wrong. When all that is wrong is the rubber has gotten hard, this stuff works great. And water won't make the rubber any softer, but it is a good solution when the problem is basically paper dust.
I also have a video on how to replace the roller if that's what someone wants to do.
Before spending any money!!
I have success with the smallest dab of washing-up liquid spread over the entire roller, a minute or so to dry.
(dab = rice grain depending on roller size).
+Paul Nightingale
Although I'm glad it works for you, I wouldn't suggest putting any kind of soap on the roller. Eventually soap will degrade the rubber.
unless it's jammed because of taking too much paper at once - then you need to disassemble it and fix the solenoid's foam... Which is somethimes super hard if you aren't experienced (I'm repair technician)
I hadn't heard of this problem. These printers have so many moving parts…it's amazing they continue to work after all these years and so many prints.
Fortunately a worn or old roller seems to be the most common problem and is a relatively easy fix.
Genius tip - to undo the two clips, cross your hands over and use the fingernail of your left forefinger to pull back the right clip, and the fingernail of your right forefinger to pull back the right clip, both at the same time. Easy peasy!
Also there is often a part of the roller that is in better condition, so you can bring it round to the position where the roller is currently white from rubbing against 10 years of paper. Another video suggests turning the roller inside out.
Hi Peter,
Thanks for commenting. I like the hand over hand idea. Ain't it something how much our peace of mind depends on that one part of the printer?
I just made up the "tools" I used because the available space is so darned limited and it's hard to see and often I have no excess fingernails to grab stuff.
Rotating the roller and turning it inside out are all options. I have another video on replacing the roller completely. I suppose one of these days someone will show how to do it with a gun.
Replacing the roller completely: ua-cam.com/video/0U5UC5XU8ak/v-deo.html
It works for 5-6 feeds, but NOT MORE.
I checked: 0,1 mm worn away when my printer did not want to reliably feed paper - which you cannot "rejuvenate".
BTW replacement part in EBay/Alibaba is about $1+$3 international shipping ... and you have a not-worn/not-torn pickup roller.
That's my 2 cents.
Thanks for your comment on your experience!
Rejuvenating can help a rubber roller to last longer and be more "grabby" so it feeds better. In other words, it can be a good maintenance action and it is an easy thing to do…easier and quicker than changing the roller.
Also, if a spot on the roller has worn too much, then one can loosen it and turn it a bit so a new spot becomes the pickup area. Rejuvenating the rubber can make it more flexible in general. And then rejuvenating can also help to keep that new spot from wearing away as quickly and help it to grab better, too.
Interestingly, an old, dried out roller can shrink, so the rejuvenator can allow it to become a bit thicker sometimes. But if the rubber has truly worn away then either turning and rejuvenating is called for, or a new roller.
Thanks for your comment on my video on how to replace the roller here: ua-cam.com/video/0U5UC5XU8ak/v-deo.html
Worked for me. Thank you for this great fix.
Good for you! This little roller is the only mechanical part that has needed replacement!
thank you very much , I used water instead of your material it worked good , thanks for the video.
You are very welcome! Well done fixing your printer!
Sometimes the problem is simply "paper dust" on the roller. The dust makes the roller slip and not feed paper nicely. Cleaning off the roller with water (a slightly damp paper towel or bit of cloth) is definitely the first thing to try!
For the dust on the roller, if it is accessible enough use tape to clean it? Just be careful not to leave that tape in the printer. I used to work in a place that printed ID cards. One of the consumables used in the printer was a pink tape that was particularly sticky and that was cleaning tape. It was like pink flypaper. Probably pink so you could see the dirt more easily to decide when to change it. It was used to clean the card feed rollers so that the cards would not get jammed in there so much because in those printers there was not a whole lot of room to get at a stuck card.
John Doe
I don't know about using regular tape, but there is are special papers for running through the printer to clean out the paper path.
I've used them sometimes and they work especially well for cleaning excess toner out of hard-to-get-at places inside a printer.
I have some more info and links to those papers and other printer products for getting one's printer to feed properly on my web page here: www.maximpulse.com/printer/
Can we use WD 40 instead of Wurth Plastic & rubber care? Any bode will answer, please?
I would not use Wurth because it "Protects and restores gloss and color to rubber"…you DON'T want glossy rubber…that would make the roller slip instead of grabbing a sheet of paper.
Also, I would not use WD40 because it is a lubricant which is not a rubber rejuvenator plus it might transfer oils to your paper.
A rubber rejuvenator makes the rubber springy and also makes the surface more "grabby".
Look on my page here to see various rubber rejuvenators are available:
maximpulse.com/printer/
Just use a can of Belt Dressing that is used for spraying under the hood on squeaky car belts... you can buy it in any automotive section.
Interesting idea,but I don't know about belt dressing…it may or may not be appropriate. There's nothing to be gained by gambling on a product made for some other purpose.
I know the rubber renewer works beautifully and it's only $8.
www.greendept.com/maximpulse/printer/index.html
Excellent video, thanks. Feedback on Amazon - where a can sells for $7.82 - indicates that gloves are a good idea, or one can feel itch and burn, and that the spray will ruin plastic (strong solvents). Turning the rubber inside out will work if it's not too cracked - it could break. Rubber is soft due to plasticizers, similar to solvents, and when they outgas (hence the smell of rubber), the rubber becomes dry and hard, especially in hot, dry climates. This product replaces some of the lost plasticizers by using solvents to carry them into the rubber where they soften the rubber. Soft rubber grabs paper, and dry, cracked rubber won't. Lastly, some printers use the same part of the rubber roller to feed paper, and it may be hard to reach all of the roller with a wipe, so you can unplug the printer in mid-feed to reach the part that's normally hidden or inaccessible. 20 years ago, HP used to provide a piece of cardboard with two small patches of sandpaper glued on, for the purpose of restoring rubber feed rollers (old DeskJets). You place the sheet in the paper tray and try to print, the rollers scrape on the sandpaper and that removes some of the hard, dry rubber from the surface, exposing the softer rubber. But Sprayway's treatment is better.
Thanks for the comment! Yes, I agree this rejuvenator soaks into the rubber and makes it softer and more flexible and makes the roller's surface grab better. It might even make it less likely to crack…which the rubber can do when it gets too hard and inflexible.
I had no trouble reaching all around the roller. It takes a bit of care, but the wet pad can be bent around and even guided by a paper clip if one needs to.
MY 3045 HAS PRINT PROBLEM MEANS BLACK STRIPS ON EDGE OF PAPER CAN GIVE ME HOW TO REPAIR THAT DRUM OR BLADE PROBLEM
Two thoughts.
First, you can try running cleaner sheets through the printer to clear out leftover toner. Here is an example of these cleaner sheets: amzn.to/2NFMZJ5
Second, with the Samsung printers the drum and toner are one single unit. I often add toner, but after a few refills I have to buy a rebuilt toner/drum/blade and throw out the old one. Here is the kind of rebuilt cartridge I am talking about: amzn.to/2AcJYhQ
It's funny, getting a whole new cartridge is cheaper than the cleaner sheets!
I hope this helps a little.
Would this work with a printer that has tiny white rollers? They don't look at all like the same type of rubber. Mine is a Brother.
Usually white rollers are nylon-type plastic. Sort of guides or hold-down thingies.
I don't know about the grabbing roller(s) on a Brother.
I'm not a real repairman, just a guy who fixed his Samsung printer.
I have set up my "trusty" HP 4P this evening. It was printing, but somehow, while wiping the inside, now I am getting the 13 Paper Jam. Can I use Super X Belt Dressing spray? "Eliminates slipping, preserves all types of belts" as stated on the can? Thanks!
I used a quick spray of belt dressing on a Q-Tip. Lightly rubbed it on the roller, especially on the leading edge and let dry for 10 mins. Now both of my old Samsung ML-2510's work great ! :-)
My cannon seems to be pulling from the right side and then it's getting jammed because it's going and crooked I have a cannon MF laser series printer
i can't really diagnose this, but you can look inside and see if there are two rubber rollers pulling the paper in.
If there are, then you can try cleaning them so they both grab the paper.

Great! i hope you make a video on Epson L210 to. Thank you!
i dink ur robbing the liquid off over n over again after the initial coatings. but thx for this video.
i'll try on mine. i wonder if my 20lb paper is too thick. but i can't find thinner sheets locally.
maybe should wait for the liquid coat to dry B4 re-applying.
@@schutendohkji548 Are you using the Sprayway Rejuvenator or what?
I have a lot more info about different ways to fix this here:
www.maximpulse.com/printer/
Hey I was wondering is the roller supposed to spin? And what do I do if it doesn't?
I am using my inkjet right now, but as I recall the roller only rotates when it is grabbing a piece of paper and drawing it in to be printed.
I'm not a repairman so I don't know exactly what to do if it doesn't move. The roller snaps in, so maybe it isn't snapped in all the way?
very good help in the spare of the moment!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GOD BLESS YOU!!!!!!!!!!!
+Corey Williams
Yay!
Glad to have added to the pile of UA-cam knowledge.
Hi. Can you advise how long does roller last after cleaning it?
If you start using the rejuvenator before the roller gets too dried out and cracked up your roller could last "forever". Using the rejuvenator doesn't just clean, it re-softens the rubber so it doesn't crack or get rubbed away.
I have some rollers that are still the originals after over 10 years, but others that I decided to replace and then try to rejuvenate them periodically.
Thank you very much... Muito obrigado pela gentileza. I'm fron Brazil and working for me... Thanks. Thanks. Thanks!!!
De nada. Fico feliz por ter ajudado. (Graças ao Google Translate). I am glad the world is able to help us to touch.
Does it same with tire and rubber rejuvenator mckees 37 ? Because i can not find any 203 sprayway in my country
McKees 37 is a "heavy-duty cleaner and degreaser" for tires, but that is very different from a rubber rejuvenator. On my web page I list 5 different products that rejuvenate rubber. Look in the Renew section here: www.greendept.com/maximpulse/tools/fixing_paper_jams.html#renew-with-rejuvenator
One of them ought to be available near you…where in the world are you located?
my printer is barely 6 months old and already the rollers are crap. but then again, all IBM/MS Windows style printers suck! I preferred the old Apple II printers that had spikes that stuck in holes in paper.
+fucheduck
I have been surprised at how reliable these Samsung laser printers have been…except for the rubber rollers! Now that I know how to renew and/or replace them, I feel like they are probably good until I die.
As far as printing goes I still have an old Laserjet 5si. It wont die. If anything breaks on it I can fix as fixing printers/copiers is part of what I do for a living.
I like your attitude! Some of these laser printers are real workhorses.
maximpulse i've always said if you can find one and only need black and white, find a Laserjet 4, 5, 5si/8000/8100/8150, 4000/4050 series. They may be dated but there are thousands of those still in use for good reason: They work, easy to fix and for those brave enough, plenty of youtube videos on how to and parts are plentiful. Properly maintained, they last forever.
Sounds like a good philosophy to me, too. But it can be hard to convince other folks when they see the sheer size of those beasts.
i tried with other type of "rejuvenator" i.e. car interior leather & dashboard shining gel; and it works too.
What brand did you use? Some leave an oily surface and some a hard surface.
maximpulse
Magic 101: Platinum Xtreme Potectant. No oily residues. You might want to wait until the gel or solution dried. I think others brand will do too, as long as one with not residue left.
*****
One other point: the Rejuvenator has ingredients that specifically re-soften hardened rubber. I don't know what other products have in them. They might clean and make a nice surface, but I don't know if they will actually make the rubber "younger" (more like when it was soft and new and "grabby").
tried the alcohol fix. didn't work. glad to know there's another solution. thx
Yes, alcohol ultimately dries out the rubber. The same way alcohol cleans your skin but dries it out. The rejuvenator makes the rubber softer and the surface feels "grabby". Like when it was new.
@maximpule i have printer hp f380 i have the same problem what should i do ?
ahmed albeiti
Hi Ahmed,
You can use this rejuvenator on any rubber roller to make it pliable and grippy again.
Try cleaning it with a little water first, and if that doesn't do the trick, go to my web page for links to this product and other products (like sheets to run through to clean your printer).
www.maximpulse.com/printer/
how does the chemical soften the rubber? oxidisation / acid erosion / alcohol vapour, what?
Golly, I went and looked at the MSDS again and the list of ingredients. Then I read a bit about hardening of rubber over time. Then I realized I'd wished I'd taken chemistry in high school. Some topics are like diving down Alice's rabbit hole.
So simply, the Rejuvenator first "Removes glaze from gum, friction, ink, coatings, oxidation, and light embossing" (quote from the Sprayway site). Then plasticizers (AKA softeners) soak into the rubber. Third, the carrier solvents evaporate, leaving a renewed roller. I don't believe I am actually answering your specific question, but that's the simple answer.
The actual contents of the Sprayway rejuvenator (from their MSDS) are
30-40% Light Aliphatic Solvent Naphtha
20-30% Propylene Glycol Monomethyl Ether 107-98-2 20 - 30
15-20% 2-Methyl-2,4-Pentanediol 107-41-5 15 - 20
8-10% Dipropylene Glycol Methyl Ether 34590-94-8 10 - 15
3-5% Isopropyl Alcohol
.1 - 1% Other
Perhaps that info will give you some starting point for your info quest.
There is another rubber cleaner and renewer product that has stronger chemicals. More info on that and more at my web page www.greendept.com/maximpulse/printer/index.html
Good enough?
will this work on a lexmark?also can i get anykind of rubber cleaner? or do i have to get a certain kind
I think most rubber rejuvenators are similar and should work on any rubber roller, but some products are sprays and other are a liquid in a bottle. I have a whole bunch of links to various products on my web page for you to look at:
www.greendept.com/maximpulse/printer/index.html
Can I use WD40 instead? I can't find the 203 where I live!
I would NOT use WD40. The idea is to make the rubber grab the paper. WD40 is a lubricant and might make it slippery.
Go to my web page and I list other products than the 203:
maximpulse.com/printer/
Where in the world do you live?
I had a huge paper jam and ever since I pulled to get the paper, my HP all-in-one inkjet does not pick up paper and I can't even seem to find anything that spins to pick up paper. I restarted the printer spool and nothing spins. Is my printer hopeless? I would really like to fix rather than throw away and of course it is more expensive to send it to get fixed than buy a new. Any suggestions? Thank you very much in advance.
I have to admit I am familiar with Samsung and Epsom printers, but not HP printers.
Did the entire sheet of paper come out when you pulled to remove it?
Sometimes a bit of paper can be stuck inside in front of a sensor so the printer won't spin up when you start it.
What model HP printer do you have?
OMG! It's cracked! I wonder how it works! It must be replaced!
I have another video on how to replace the roller, too! ua-cam.com/video/0U5UC5XU8ak/v-deo.html
It is amazing how beaten up a roller can be and still work, especially if one uses the rejuvenator periodically. I have replaced some rollers, but often it isn't necessary. Some folks just turn the roller a bit and then keep going…that exposes a new area of the rubber.
your trick worked thanks
Yay!
Hello! I have an hp C3180 that does not feed paper to print ! Because I pulled the paper before printing ! How do I resolve this? Thank you!
Wish I could help, but I am not familiar with that printer.
If you tore the paper when pulling it out, you might have to get in there to remove small pieces of paper that are blocking the paper path. But that is only a guess! It can be hard to "get in there" with any printer!
No friend .... There is no paper in the printer! I pulled the paper and tore it not not he out automatically by the printer itself !! but is not pulling to print !!! Someone there without u know help me ???
Hi, I'm sorry. I am just one lonely person sharing what I know about my laser printers. I hope you find what you need!

Can I use this for Toshiba Estudio 257 copier
It should work on any rubber roller.
I have only used it on my Samsung printer rollers. but it is a universal type of thing.
Can deliver it to Sri Lanka. How i purchased
@@ranukahettiarachchi9312 Golly, I wish I new how to buy this or ship this to Sri Lanka, but I have no clue.
If you go to my web page you will see there are several products which can renew rubber rollers:
maximpulse.com/printer/
Perhaps you can find one of these locally or that can be shipped to you.
@@maximpulse Thank you.
Good video!! ...but your rubber roller is almost dead. (sniff!)
For cleaning lot of people use isopropylic alcool (certainly your rejuvenator) ...but I simply use a little glass wipe , very cheap, very good degreaser, cleaning is perfect and very fast , immediately dry , no damage for the rubber , and the roller hooks perfectly. I take care no more touch the roller with my fingers after cleaning.
Using any "degreaser" is a big mistake. Alcohol especially will dry out the rubber and cause it to fail sooner. Rubber has natural oils that keep it flexible.
The best thing to use first is simply cleaning the roller with plain water. Sometimes the immediate reason for slipping is because there is slippery dust from paper on the roller. Cleaning it with water can remove that dust and will often fix the problem.
The rejuvenator soaks in to make the rubber more flexible and grip better. More like it was when it was new.
Glass cleaner or alcohol might seem to work in the short run, but not in the long run. It might look like there is no damage, but it takes a while for rubber to dry out and glass cleaner won't prevent that. If it removes the oils in the rubber it will make the roller age faster.
And sure, I have occasionally replaced an entire roller. I have another video on that very topic here:
ua-cam.com/video/0U5UC5XU8ak/v-deo.html
puedes limpiar una y otra vez el rodillo de alimentacion pero ese rodillo esta malo al punto que ya se rajo , el wd 40 tiene el mismo efecto que el que logras con ese producto saludos suerte
I agree that sometimes the rubber roller needs to be replaced. I have another video showing that here: ua-cam.com/video/0U5UC5XU8ak/v-deo.html
But I would NOT use WD40 on the rubber. It might lubricate the rubber, but it will not rejuvenate it. Also, WD40 tastes terrible!
Good job
Thank you!
Thank you sir, this has been a really annoying issue for me.
You're welcome!
As they say, "Happy printer…happy home!"
good job.thank you
I'm glad the video helped you!
what alternative can you suggest besides buying that Spray .???? :)
I have a web page with lots of alternatives at www.greendept.com/maximpulse/printer/index.html
I also have another video on how to simply change the rubber roller at ua-cam.com/video/0U5UC5XU8ak/v-deo.html
Here's a quote from my web site to get you started:
"CLEAN - If it is simply dusty it slips. So first try cleaning off the roller with water or rubbing alcohol (let it dry).
RENEW - If the surface is "shiny" (slightly worn) it can't grab the paper. Apply roller cleaner [the spray in my video] to make the surface "tacky" so it can grab the paper.
ROTATE - With a slightly worn belt, you can remove the pickup roller, and either turn it inside out or rotate the belt and re-install it.
REPLACE - If the belt is cracked or worn down, remove and replace the rubber belt (or the belt and the core that holds it)."
And then there is more info on each of these options!
Hope this helps!!!
okei i will try to view it :)
Let me know how it all goes for you…
it goes well.. but my problem right now is not the roller anymore... the print result is not that good :(
What is the symptom? What is the bad printing result?
If it still isn't feeding, the next step is to replace the roller. There's a link to that video on my web page: www.greendept.com/maximpulse/printer/index.html
With streaked prints it can help to remover the toner cartridge, shake it left and right (sideways) to distribute the toner evenly, put it back in. Usually that helps to create a more evenly inked image.
to take out the ruber, no need to tear apart the printer, press and release button on the rubber holder
This video shows how to renew a hard rubber roller.
I also have a video which shows how to replace the roller completely.
ua-cam.com/video/0U5UC5XU8ak/v-deo.html
And I don't tear apart the printer. I see you are quick to criticize but have no videos of your own to contribute.
Thank you sir, this has been a really annoying issue for me. THNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Ah new printers, after 5 years the rollers are bad, meanwhile, my 1991 printer still print lol.
Nintenloup Wolf (FR)
I'm glad your printer roller is still working.
But they do dry out over time, so you might want to use a rejuvenator on it so it lasts another 5 years. Up to you, of course!
thank you, it actually worked :)
Hey! That's a plus!
But seriously, I'm glad it worked for you. And one can should last you through several lifetimes and incarnations.
thank you ;) good man! truly appreciate the job well done!
You are so welcome! Thanks for the thanks! Makes a pleasant start to my day!
Wow! Thanks so much!
Glad to be of aid! And it's cool to know one more person is rescuing their loyal little printer!
Would automotive Belt restorer work also?
I dunno! I haven't used auto belt restorer in a long time!
But I seem to recall the car stuff was very tacky.
The printer rejuvenator is very thin and it isn't tacky. The rejuvenator does make the belt rubber grabbier by softening the rubber a little, but isn't tacky or sticky itself.
Thanks
I used a very little bit of silicone spray.
I'm glad if that worked for you.
The trouble with silicone spray is it can transfer to the paper and then be carried through the entire print path. The rejuvenator is specifically made to make the rubber soft again but to also be compatible with the rest of the printer.
I'd bet you won't have any problems from the silicone, but I mention the difference here because someone else might not realize there is a real difference.
thanks for the video, a little stroke of water did the job,
Abraham Koshy
Yay! Yeah, paper does leave dust behind and it lubricates the roller like tiny ball bearings. I'm glad the water did the trick for you!
I'm going to try this
Thanks for your guide.
+LISANCACOM
You're welcome!
Thanks for the thanks!!!
I´ve used WD-40.. Good lord thanks!! Working like a charme.
I'm glad you came over to the Light!
Just in case anyone else is reading this, WD40 is NOT good for a sore throat or removing toilet bowl rings.
The paper should be loosely held in the paper tray. If the guides are adjusted too tight, the paper will be clamped in the tray. The result is that the paper will bind on the sides, and the lift mechanism will be unable to lift the paper to the rollers.
Hi Michael,
Yes, that is a good point! Plus in the summer when humidity is high the paper expands and that can bind a bit, too.
I actually ended up filing some plastic away so that the guides would open an extra little bit because the paper always seemed to be squeezed by the guides. Worked great afterwards.
what is that? some kind of silicone?
John Doe
The cleaner/ rejuvenator label says it contains some kind of naphtha, alcohol and other chemicals with names too long for me to type in here.
BUT there is no silicone listed. You don't want to make the roller slippery with silicone, you want to renew the rubber and make it flexible and slightly tacky.
The cleaner & rejuvenator does that.

How is this stuff different from Armor All?
+aguilayserpiente
Golly, completely different!
I don't know the chemical analysis off the cuff, but the renewal spray soaks in a seems to make the rubber "like new" with a slightly grabby surface.
When I've used Armor All it left a surface coating that was either greasy or shiny and hard. Neither of those effects would help the rubber pickup roller.

maximpulse No problem! You helped me alot because i had a presentation :/
YOU SAVED ME :D and i will use your trick again if i need it :P
Those rubber rejuvinators work for 2-3 weeks then the rubber dries again. So, it is not a permanent solution.
I made this video and I can say it sure has worked for me on my printer rollers. It really does make the surface it like it was new again. For me it has lasted years, but it probably would be good to re-apply more often than I do!
What exact thing did you try?
would isopropyl cleaner work?
+james walker isopropyl cleaner seemed to do the trick (only used as i already had some lying around) thanks for the tip about the roller !
The isopropyl is a good cleaner, however you dried the rubber out even more. It will work temporarily but excelled the liftime of the roller. You now need this rejuvenator for the roller.
+Foster Seitz ah ok. Cheers
+james walker Will Denatured alcohol work? (also known as methylated spirits)
+Sony Trinitron
Alcohol will work about as well as water to get it working again temporarily…both will simply clean the paper dust off the roller. BUT alcohol will gradually dry out the rubber roller so it will eventually crack and disintegrate.
So it's better to use water to clean it off. If that doesn't do a good enough job, order some of the rejuvenator stuff and use that (link below). The cleaner/rejuvenator is best because it adds softeners to the rubber…makes it young and flexible again…makes the surface "grabby"…so it won't crack and it can grab the paper like when it was young and in love :-)
I have a web page with links to where to get this stuff:
www.greendept.com/maximpulse/printer/index.html
One can will last you a lifetime!

my pickup roller fell down and I sudeenly heard a strange noise. I had tried to remove it and could fit it and now it stuck somewhere
I wish I could help, but I would have to be there…looking at it in order to have any idea what might be wrong.
maximpulse I think I loosened the roller but couldn't remove it then left it like that and then turned the printer on and the noise came. when I checked inside, roller was not where it used to be. jammed somewhere. I hope I can fix it. thanks anyways.
