      Yes it fixes the intermittent jam issue. The lift motors lifts the paper into the correct position at first so it doesn't jam then after a so many prints, there isn't enough tension on the pickup roller because the spring is missing. Then you open the tray, unjam the paper, then the whole process starts over.

      I also had trouble finding the spring in the parts list so I ordered a spring from the 1128mfp machine. Works great. I believe the part number is #302HS09180 from the cassette. Now I keep extras in my kit.
      Best rule for troubleshooting.

        Amazing...

        Customer brought back the printer after printing ~100 pages. Printer sometimes stops when half of paper is already out of the eject unit.
        When printing using rear eject, only one sheet of paper hang in the printer - in the duplex section.

        Tried to print from manual tray using both ejects (top and rear) and it worked like a charm.

        Next I decided to replace paper pickup assembly for cassette, took 302LV94270 - Parts holder feed as and when removed the cassette, pull out the old paper pickup assembly, that's it - THERE IS NO SPRINT THERE (24 302LV06040 2LV06040 SPRING PICKUP).

        Just replaced pickup assembly and installed the spring.

          Sent 500 pages in duplex mode, 200 in simplex and it printed without any problem.

          Thank you very much, colleague!
