Document feeder won't feed.

It pulls paper in about an inch or so and says there is a misfeed. We have had someone come out three times and cleaned everything and changed the clutch and a pully-inny bearing thing, but it messed up again today. It doesn't always do it, but it messes up regularly.

Angela,
Did they replace the rollers and seperation pad/roller? They replaced the Clutch but not the rollers odd. Also might ask about having the feeder firmware checked updated. or the control board replaced.

Ah, the beauty of digital manipulation :)

In the old days you would have to change the paper in the tray too...

I've been looking online for the glass, and can't locate it. They will charge you a bundle for a piece of glass anyway (I know Konica charges about $50 one).

As to the question of a sensor. If there's no wire on it, there's no sensor. Some manufacturers use a "coating" that goes to a ground wire for anti-static, etc. Most likely, yours doesn't require this.

Also, to prolong the life of the new glass (now don't tell ALL of my secrets) use armor-all, car wax, even pledge (the wood stuff) on a rag and buff the glass. Just a dab will do.

I'll keep looking online for the part for ya.

Good luck!

SOURCE: Misfeed indicator

It could be comming from the paper feed mechanism above the paper tray. Make sure its installed properly. It could be as simple as cleaning the feed tires.

SOURCE: misfeed trouble with sharp ar-337

Dear sir;I suggest you go to simulation mode 30 & 40 to find out which sensor got problem procedure as follow;
1, press "program", "interupt" "clear", "interupt"
2, enter 30, press "start", enter 01, pres start again,then all the sensor light in the paper path are on the abnormal one blinking.
3, repeat same step for 30 sub 02 that's for paper path in the feed section.
4, repeat same step for simulation 40 sub code 01,that's for by-pass paper path sensor.
After you done those procedure you will find out which sensor block out or defect, good luck.

Clean the feed roller on the document feeder with a damp soapy cloth to clean off paper dust that is making it slip.

How do I clean the rollers on lexmark x2500

You can try to clean the rollers with a cotton bud to reach it.
Leading cause of paper misfeeds is debris or foreign objects that accidentally fell into the paper feed area. Grab a flashlight and look into the feeder for any obstructions.

Paper feeder stops after in about 2 inches

Have you tried cleaning the feed rollers with rubbing alcohol or soapy water? Just make sure to dry the rollers before trying to use the printer again. If this doesn't remedy the problem, check the paper feed path for obstructions (previous misfeeds or jams). Hope this helps.

Misfeed on lanier 7320

I like your pictures.... Have you tried to clean the feed roller with a slittly damp rag with Simple Green or WD-40? You can try that and wipe the extra off. They both clean the rubber roller's. If that works good, that means the feed rollers are worn and need replacing. But you may also need the paper pick-up feed clutch. You said you can still run paper throw the by-pass. Good Luck

Ep1083 copier

If the machine sees the ADF ( auto document feeder) but does not feed the paper? Does it try to feed the paper? Does it pull the paper is a little and jam? If the machine sees the ADF and it starts to feed the paper but jams --- clean the feed rollers/ tires with rubber restorer or a high alcohol base cleaner. Also a mylar could be pulled into the paper path blocking the feeding of the paper. Take a thin piece of cardboard ( like the devider in a case of pop) and slide the cardboard about 3- 6 inches into the feed just past the feed roller. Gently pull back out and try to feed paper again. If those do not work and the machine does see the ADF, you may need switch, sensor, actuator or feed motor.

Document feeder works for printing but not for scanning

Hi, When you had the doucment feed jam were you able to clean or remove any paper that might be blocking the paper to be scanned? It sounds like there is paper still in the document feeder , I would open the DF and check very closely to make sure no paper is in the way!Good Luck!
