Genuine Cassette #2 Paper Pickup / Feed Roller Assembly for Epson EcoTank Photo ET-8550

Over time, the original roller may become smooth or coated with paper dust, reducing its grip and causing “Out of Paper in Cassette 2” messages, false paper-jam errors, delayed pickup, repeated feed attempts, or uneven feeding from the lower cassette.
