Printer "Multiple Sheets" Being Pulled At Once

4.5

The printer tries to take one page but grabs 3-4, causing a jam or overlapping prints.

Symptoms
  • Paper jam
  • Overlapping text
  • Wasted paper
Possible Causes
  • Humid paper
  • Worn separation pad
  • Static electricity

Step-by-Step Fix

1

Fan the Paper

Take the stack out and fan it to break any static or moisture bonds.

2

Use Fresh Paper

If the paper is damp from humidity, it will stick together.

3

Clean the Separation Pad

The rubber pad that stops extra sheets might be dirty or worn smooth.

When to See a Technician

Cheap, thin paper is much more likely to stick together than high-quality 80gsm+ paper.
