Hi,
I 've got a CP1160 printer and it will not feed paper when the unit is 1st
tuned on. This unit has been sitting in it's box for the last 12 months and
is new in box. The clutch grinds when 1st turned on and when the print head
gets to the left hand side the paper doesn't feed in. The lifter for the
paper carriage doesn't lift

When 1st turned on the paper rollers feed backwards (from the top, around
toward the back of the printer) and when the print head goes to the lhs the
rollers feed forward.

if manually rotated from the duplexer side the mechanism appears to work. ie
if i feed the rollers forward when powered off the paper mechanism picks up
a sheet.

Anyone have any ideas?

The paper feed motor wouldn't be powered backwards would it ?

Anyone have a service manual  i could get electronically ?

Many thanks
