    XM5163 Jamming, Main tray media feeder?

    This machine often (about every 4 or 5 pages) will have a paper jam in the middle of the printer (under drum area) where there are 2 pieces of paper. Not right on top of each other, like typical multi-feeding, but one right after the other and a little on top of the other.
    About 2 inches overlapping.
    It looks to me like the paper feed clutch gets stuck and the next page feeds before it's time and the page in front stops and the page that get fed too soon keeps moving its lead edge for a couple inches past the first pages trail edge before it stops.
    So normally I would think the clutch gets stuck
    BUT
    It looks to me like this machine doesn't have a typical paper feed clutch, but only a motor fed assy that would not necessarily get stuck like that. I know it is called Media Feeder, Main Tray.

    Anyone with personal knowledge on this feed assy?
    Does it cause this kind of jamming?
    Is replacing the Media Feeder my likely fix?


    FYI, Paper feeds out of the MP tray just fine. Not sure if it uses the same feed motor. I'm guessing not.
Working...
