X73 found loose spring (by 3 users)

posted by beachweave on Jun 21, 2008


My x73 wasn't feeding paper and I took it apart to see if I could fix it like suggested here. When I got it apart a small black spring fell out, about the size of one of the screws. does anyone know where this little spring came from? maybe I can still fix it.

Paper was advancing irregularily, resulting in printing one line on top of another. In turning the machine over to look inside for jam, a silver spring about 5/8" in diameter and 1" long rolled out of the paper feed slot. Looking for parts diagram or exploded view to find the home of this spring.

My X73 stopped feeding the paper. I took it completely apart and found a broken spring under the catridge bed. In additon a silver screw was jammed into the paper moving gears. Could not find where the screw belonged. Took both out and did a good cleaing. I sill have the same problem.
