When freed from the infeed system, does the backfeed roller spin (i.e. does the backfeed motor turn the backfeed roller)?
I appreciate your patience performing these diagnostics for me. If you have any questions regarding the above, please contact me by telephone, and I'll explain in further detail.

The copier technicians would experience a static charge in the feed cassette and neutralize it with Bounce or similar product as well as providing a slight lubricant.
