Resolving issues with the ADF

This section contains issues that might occur when you are using the automatic document feeder (ADF).

The ADF is feeding multiple sheets, skewing pages, or jamming frequently.

●If the pages look like they are skewing as they feed into the ADF, check the resulting scanned images in the software to ensure they are not skewed.

●The item might not be placed correctly. Straighten the item and adjust the guides to center the stack.

●The maximum number of pages the ADF input tray and output bin can hold is 25, depending on the type of media being loaded. Make sure to load only 25 or fewer pages in the input tray, and remove pages from the output bin if they are stacking up to a pile of more than 25.

●The item loaded might not meet the specifications for the ADF. Make sure the type of media being loaded meets required specifications. See "Items for the ADF" on page 17.
