Solution 3: Verify multiple pages are not being picked up from the document feeeder

Solution: Print a Last Transaction report to verify the number of pages that were sent. If two or more pages stuck together and were fed into the document feeder tray at the same time, the number of pages in the report would not match the actual number of pages. If the number of pages listed in the report does not match the actual number of pages, you might need to clean the separator pad in the automatic document feeder.

2.Press the down arrow button until Print Report is highlighted, and then press OK.

3.Press the down arrow button until Last Transaction is highlighted, and then press OK.
