How To Clear A Document Feeder Paper Jam?
The idea of a document feeder is undeniably attractive. Slip your stack of papers in and it seamlessly feeds the individual sheets in one-by-one creating an exact copy or copies all nicely collated. Gone are the days of placing one sheet at a time on the glass.
Until your document mis-feeds. This is most likely a user error. If your printer is properly maintained it should work seamlessly.
Clearing a Document Feeder Jam:
- Follow the paper path
- Prevent the paper jam (Video to follow)
Clearing a paper jam in the automatic document feeder is relatively easy. The most important part is prevention.
Simply open the feeder cover and look for the paper that didn’t feed all the way through. Carefully remove it and reinsert. Before carefully removing it, please watch the video below Clearing Document Feeder.
If you have a large stack of paper to feed, try and insert it back into the stack to resume feeding and printing. BUT WAIT!
