I would like to know which of "roll" and "rotate" is better in the following sentence I created.
A printer has a roller inside to feed paper. The roller is supported by a shaft to a printer casing and rolls/rotates on the shaft.
I looked up "roll" in some dictionaries and found that it is usually used for a moving object, so I think "rotate" is better in the above sentence, but the name "roller" causes me to use "roll".
