What to do: See “Documents” on p. 3-2for information about required document properties.

•What to check: Is a jam being caused by document paper that is not sliding properly?

What to do: Scan such paper from the flatbed (platen glass), one page at a time. (See p. 3-5.)

•What to check: Are the rollers inside the feeder dirty or worn?

What to do: If the rollers are dirty, clean them. (See p. 5-6.)If the rollers are worn, contact your service representative to have them replaced.
