Check that all rollers are in place and that the roller doors and scanner hatch are closed.

If the pages look skewed as they feed into the scanner paper path, check the resulting scanned images in the software to ensure that they are not skewed.

The pages might not be placed correctly. Straighten the pages and adjust the paper guides to center the stack.

The paper guides must be touching the sides of the paper stack to work properly. Please ensure that the paper stack is straight and the guides are against the paper stack.

The document feeder or output tray might contain more than the maximum number of pages. Load fewer pages in the document feeder, and remove pages from the output tray.

Clean the scanner paper path to help reduce misfeeds. If misfeeds still occur, clean the rollers. If misfeeds still occur, replace the rollers.
