Those things amaze me. The way they manage to route just one sheet of paper through such an intricate and precise maze, I consider it next to miraculous that they don't jam on every second operation.

It's probably the feed tires. You can get false jams if they're slipping.

yea it generally is the paper roller, but you can only change that so often before you give up on it. The most fickel thing I've ever messed with

The bigger ones transport multiple sheets at once! The ones I work on can have up to 5 sheets running through the copier at once! It's really cool.

When you're printing 11x17 duplex (2 sided) it'll slide the paper under the machine whole it's rotating it. You can't see it, but I know it's happening.
