ET-8550 Pick Up Drive Kit – Drive Shaft and Drive Gear for Bottom Tray Paper Feed

Restore proper paper pickup from the lower cassette with this Pick Up Drive Kit for the Epson ET-8550. This kit includes the drive shaft and drive gear that work together to transfer force from the PF rod to the pick up arm, allowing the printer to pick up paper from the bottom tray.

If either the drive shaft or drive gear is worn, cracked, damaged, or missing, the pickup mechanism may not transfer motion correctly. That can cause failure to pick up paper, weak feeding, or inconsistent operation from the lower tray.

This kit is designed for the Epson EcoTank ET-8550 and is used in the bottom tray paper pickup drive system.
