Epson 3800 won't load with sheet feeder
« on: March 15, 2011, 10:15:25 pm »

I just started have a problem with the sheet feeder. It goes through the motions, but it won't load the sheet. It seems that it doesn't catch the sheet down below to pull it in. Anyone know anything I can try to remedy it.

I just found a rubber or composite wheel on the bottom of the sheet feeder area that seems to want to pull the paper in but slips, so I used a little alcohol on it (like I used to use on the capstan of  a reel to reel that slipped) and I started to work. Anyone have any other suggestions concerning that wheel and the failure to load, or have I found the cure.
Thanks
Jonathan
