HP LaserJet 1020 Not Picking Up Paper? Pickup Roller & Paper Feed Repair

HP LaserJet 1020 not picking up paper, feeding multiple sheets, or having paper jams? In this video, I show you how the paper-feed system works and how to inspect, clean and service the main components responsible for picking up and feeding paper. We look at the pickup roller, separation pad, pickup solenoid, clutch mechanism and drive gears, and explain how each component works and what happens when it becomes dirty, worn or faulty. In this video, you'll learn: • How the HP LaserJet 1020 paper-feed system works • How the pickup roller picks up the paper • How to inspect and clean the pickup roller • How to remove and service the separation pad • Causes of multiple-sheet feeding • How the pickup solenoid and clutch mechanism work • How a sticky solenoid can affect paper-feed timing • How to clean and service the pickup solenoid • How the main motor and gear train drive the printer mechanisms • How to inspect and clean the drive gears • Common causes of clicking, grinding and squeaking noises • Reassembly and final checks Paper-feed problems are not always caused by the pickup roller. Worn separation pads, sticky solenoids, damaged gears, paper condition and other paper-path problems can cause similar symptoms, so proper diagnosis is important. In the next video, I'll explain common toner cartridge problems and show you how to refill and service the cartridge step by step.
