Troubleshooting
Paper jamming consistently at the exit path
Inspect the bushing for cracks or uneven wear. If the bushing is loose, it will cause the roller to sit at an angle, leading to paper skewing.
Grinding noise during printing
Verify that the bushing is correctly seated in the housing. A misaligned or worn bushing may cause friction against the fuser frame.
