Most of those things are made of some sort of elastomer that has a very high
grab when laid on the paper. Usually grey colored.
Unforch, there is one thing they are not immune to, and that is junk quality
paper whose white clay coating comes off and sticks to them destroying their
ability to control the paper.
You will have to take it apart enough to get a q-tip onto them. Try it first
with water as the stuff is somewhat water soluable. If a lot of scrubbing
doesn't seem to be doing it, you might want to try some paint thinner
alcohol, which would disolve the binding agent faster, but may also effect
the elastomer itself.
I have an old Epson C82 sitting about 2 feet from me that I had to do that to
about 7 or 8 years ago when I fed it a ream of some sort of recycled cheap
walmart paper. It was messed up in about 25 sheets. I cleaned it up, and
have never fed it paper at less than $7 a ream since, and its still toddling
along quite nicely. Probably on the far side of 100 reams have been fed
through it since. Its a hocky puck, I can't break it.
