Frequent misfeeds (processor feeder trays)

Cleaning the feed belt
11-24
If the printer misfeeds frequently, the problem may be caused by a
glazed feed belt, especially if you notice that one tray feeds the same
paper better than another one does. (Glazing is caused by a buildup
of the chemicals found on most papers.)
If you suspect this is the problem, cleaning the feed belt may
eliminate the need to place a service call. Refer to the following
procedure.
To clean the feed belt:
Step 1. Clear any misfeeds that have occurred, but do not relatch the paper
feeder assembly. The paper feeder assembly must be unlatched to
clean the belt; if necessary, unlatch it by pressing down on the bright
green lever on the right side of the paper tray (see figure 11-30).

Step 2. Lightly moisten a lint-free towel with Xerox recommended film
remover and wipe the outside surface of the feed belt thoroughly in
the same direction as the ribs on the belt (see figure 11-31). Wiping
from side to side might pull the belt off its track. Allow a few seconds
for the film remover to evaporate.
