Digital BW, The Print

Bill,

I recently visited an Epson authorized repair facility and asked the repair
tech about paper feed problems. Looking straight down at my 1160 paper feed
tray, there are two large rubber rollers, one of which slides back and forth
as you adjust for different paper widths. He said to clean the rollers with
a swab dipped in alcohol. (Isopropyl OK)You can press the paper feed button
to get them to turn as you clean.

good luck
-BK
