you have to replace it if cleaning doesn't help.

look for the seperation tire or pad if it picks up the paper from the top first then the sep is on the bottom and vice versa. Clean that on really good this is the one that seperates the paper and stops it from feeding more than one sheet.

SOURCE: HP LaserJet 2840 Scanner problem

Yes, but I don't see any actual paper jams. I have a Vista O/S and I've been reading that that might be the problem; the 2840 scanner driver is not compatible with the Vista O/S and HP hasn't produced a solution yet. I appreciate your efforts, thanks.

what part do you need exactly, ADF is a part of the whole unit of your printer/Scanner, usually there were few parts available in the market,sometimes they are not replaceable, or you can find a cannibalized parts, if you let me know which one is defective

Open the adf and rotate the pick assembly till you hear a click and then take a coin and run it up and down against the separator pad and then see if the adf picks the paper or not.If this does not work try this *# 329 and scroll thru and select adf pick test if that fails its time for you to get the printer replaced or get an upgraded printer

Multiple pages feed when printing on hp 7410

  • If the automatic document feeder (ADF) 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.
SolutionLoad 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.note.pngNOTE:If the automatic document feeder does not pick up the plain paper, try cleaning the front roller. Wipe the roller with a soft lint-free cloth dampened with distilled water. If the problem persists, or the automatic document feeder does not pick up the plain paper, clean the rollers and separator pad manually. Follow the procedures below to remove the face plate from the front of the automatic document feeder, access the pick assembly inside the automatic document feeder, clean the rollers or separator pad, and then reattach the face plate.

Doc.feder jam

Try cleaning the rollers in the ADF (Automatic Document Feeder).
It might temporarily solve the problem, but rollers do have a limited life time, so you will eventually need new ones.
