How to clean a Printer Transfer Roller

Symptoms of a defective Transfer Roller are: - Squealing or screeching noises - Frequent paper jams - Light print -
- Streaks or spots on the rear side of the paper -
The trasfer roller is a spongy roller responsible for pulling toner from the OPC drum and onto the paper.
If your printer is malfunctioning, you may be able to save money by troubleshooting the problem yourself instead of calling a technician. Many common problems are the result of a simple issue, such as improper positioning or dirt on the surface of the roller.
Clean the transfer roller whenever you change the toner cartridge, to keep used toner from building up and clogging the print mechanism.

I went to print out some business cards on my xerox phaser 6022 and it did a horrible job. First time after many uses. How do I clean the sticky stuck ink off the rollers? I tried the stick another piece of paper in and it jammed immediately. Plus, if I don't have any lint free clothes, are alcohol pads ok?

[@viandant5]

You mean there is paper stuck in the transfer roller? However you cam use a normal cotton cloth. It would be better not to use alcohol

I am having a gray haze problem. I think the toner cartridge I used was not compatible, now I am trying to clean the roller but it feels like there is no end to it. The more I clean it the more I can. I have been trying to it with napkins and cotton bud. It gets worse after the printer gets warmer. How long am I supposed to clean it for? Should I use water?

[@viandant5]

you can use a cloth lightly dampened with water but you do not need to clean it perfectly. compressed air is the best. however maybe the roller is worn out
