Roller cleaning from the operation panel
- Who:
- you, with three sheets of A4 or Letter plain paper.
- How:
- press Stop to cancel, remove the paper from the rear tray and go to Setup, Maintenance, Roller Cleaning; let them turn without paper, then load the three sheets once they stop and press OK until the paper is ejected.
- Result that matters:
- paper feeding again without code 1070.
- If it prints normally:
- the rollers only needed cleaning.
- If paper still does not feed:
- clean the rollers by hand as Canon describes.
- Evidence to keep:
- time of the cleaning and whether the three sheets came out clean.

Wipe the rear tray rollers by hand
- Who:
- you, with a cloth moistened and squeezed out tightly.
- How:
- turn the printer off and unplug the power cord; turn the rollers inside the rear tray more than two full laps while wiping them with the cloth, without touching them with your fingers; switch on and run roller cleaning again.
- Result that matters:
- removing dirt that the automatic cleaning does not shift.
- If paper now feeds:
- the dirt was more stubborn.
- If nothing changes after manual cleaning:
- request a repair from the Canon service centre.
- Evidence to keep:
- note of the steps done and the type of paper you use.

What it means
In the PIXMA G600 series manuals, Canon describes support code 1070 as paper that cannot be fed because the paper feed rollers are dirty. The manual explains that dirt or paper powder on the roller stops sheets from feeding properly. The official fix is to cancel the job and clean the rollers, automatically first and then by hand if needed. The code does not by itself confirm a fault in the feed mechanism: in most cases a cleaning cycle sorts it out.
