ADF (Auto Document Feeder) Not Picking Up Paper
4.5
The scanner doesn't pull the paper from the top tray, forcing you to scan one by one on the glass.
Symptoms
- Paper not feeding
- Grinding noise
- Multiple sheets pulled
Possible Causes
- Dirty rollers
- Worn separation pad
- Paper too thin/thick
Step-by-Step Fix
1
Clean ADF Rollers
Wipe the small rubber rollers with alcohol to remove paper dust.
2
Fan the Paper
Ensure the sheets aren't stuck together with static.
3
Check for Small Scraps
A tiny piece of paper stuck in the ADF sensor can stop it from starting.
When to See a Technician
ADF rollers are a "wear item" and usually need replacement after 10,000-20,000 pages.
