Xerox Phaser 7100 Paper Feed Roller for Optional Paper Tray

Product Overview

AI-generated summary

If you’ve got a Xerox Phaser 7100 and your optional tray is suddenly misfeeding, this kind of paper feed roller is a pretty sensible, low-cost fix. For ~£33 ex-VAT, you’re often avoiding the bigger spend of replacing an entire tray mechanism or even shipping the printer in—so value is solid *if* the symptoms genuinely point to the roller being worn or glazed. In day-to-day terms, a fresh roller usually brings back consistent pickup and fewer “double feeds,” which matters in busy UK offices where downtime is the real cost.

That said, I wouldn’t buy it just because you’re having “any” paper problem. If you’re still seeing issues after cleaning/balancing paper (or if the printer is misaligned, dirty elsewhere, or using the wrong paper stock), you might end up paying for a part that doesn’t address the root cause. Also, consider whether your roller is actually compatible with your exact tray setup—these parts are model-specific, and ordering the wrong one is a waste. If you’ve confirmed it’s the optional tray’s feed behaviour (skipping/double-feeding from that tray specifically), then yes—this is a practical, cost-effective repair. If not, troubleshoot first.
