Canon Inkjet
Repost. I was wondering if anyone was familiar with troubleshooting the
paperfeed function? It won't engage the paperfeed during normal operation or when the actual paperfeed button is pressed. Thanks. Mark. |

Repost. I was wondering if anyone was familiar with troubleshooting the

I have an Apple Color StyleWriter 2200 that is mechanically almost identical to the Canon BJC-70, 80 or 85. (I also have the BJC-85.) The CSW 2200 is notorious for paper feed problems. According to all I've read in the newsgroups, the problem is basically rubber roller surfaces that have become slick or glazed. Therefore they can not interact with paper to push/pull/shove it to where it is supposed to go. One approach to fixing the problem is to use an automotive product that is intended for vinyl upholstery, steering wheels or rubber tires. I don't know the name of such a product, but it is supposed to add back the plasticizer that has been lost (absorbed by paper?) over time. It is reported to renew or deglaze the rubber surfaces, giving them back their gripping capability. The name "Renuzit" comes to mind, but may be a totally different product. This is one of those projects I plan to do one of these days, but have never gotten around to trying it with my old printer. Fred |
