extensive use, or if you copy handwritten originals or originals that are heavy with ink.

If the automatic document feeder does not pick up any pages at all, the rollers inside the automatic document feeder need to be cleaned.

If the automatic document feeder picks up multiple pages instead of single sheets, the separator pad inside the automatic document feeder needs to be cleaned.

Solution

Load one or two sheets of unused plain white full-size paper into the document feeder tray, and then press Start Copy Black to pull the pages through the automatic document feeder. The plain paper releases and absorbs residue from the rollers and separator pad.

If the problem persists, or the automatic document feeder does not pick up the plain paper, you can clean the rollers and separator pad manually.

To clean the rollers or separator pad

1Lift the cover of the automatic document feeder.

The rollers and separator pad are identified in the following illustration.

1 Rollers

2 Separator pad

2Lightly dampen a clean lint-free cloth with distilled water, then squeeze any excess liquid from the cloth.

3Use the damp cloth to wipe any residue off the rollers or separator pad.

4If the residue does not come off using distilled water, try using isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol.

5Close the cover of the automatic document feeder.
