Re: Epson B1100 failing to feed paper

Hiya

Having one major issue with my B1100 - no not ink (if it would be so easy!!!). It's stopped feeding paper in through the top slot. Well when I say that I'm not being 100% accurate - It feeds in on the right where the roller is but about 190mm in on the left it seems to stick and subsequently tears the paper in half. I've checked and there seems to be nothing obvious in and around the white clip which holds the paper - but it's definately in and around that white clip.

Does anyone have a site which would inform you how to dismantle a B1100 or has anyone run across this problem before?

Thanks

I had a feedeng problem on my old d88 but only with texprint as it wa so thin aneasy to curl. Is your paper curled too? Is this happen when you put a3 or a4???

Got it sorted. Took off the back and surround and removed a small bit of paper had got stuck behind the white paper holders. Couldnt see or feel the blighter either. Teensy it was. Maybe 2mm square.

Thanks to everyone.
