Hi travlynn2,

1. The ADF
   unit is the grey paper tray located on the top of the scanner unit.
   Check the following points if it does not feed paper, or you receive an "ADF jam" error message:
   
   


2. Check the position of the ADF document guide:
   
   
   
   
   1. Lift up the ADF unit. Locate the document guide on the underside, as shown here:
      
      
   
   
   2. The document guide should be tucked in behind the grey plastic casing, but a paper jam can push it out of position. Figure 8 below shows the correct (1) and incorrect (2) positions:
      
      
   
   
   3. If your document guide looks like example (2)
      on the right, lift it out on the right-hand side. Tuck it in behind the
      grey section, so that it matches the example on the left (1).
      
   
   
   
   
   
   
   1. Close the scanner unit.
      
      
   
   
   2. If the printer is displaying "ADF Jam, press start to continue", press the B/W Start button to clear the error:
      
      
   
   
   3. Test the printer by scanning or faxing via the ADF unit.
      
   
   


3. Check the ADF edge guides:
   
   
   
   
   
   
   1. The adjustable paper tray edge guides must be set to the correct paper size for the paper you are loading. Otherwise, the paper may skew, misfeed and/or jam.
      
      
      
   
   
   2. Slide the edge guides to enclose the loaded
      paper (in the direction of the yellow arrows below), without causing it
      to bunch or crease. The paper should be aligned with the relevant paper size marker:
      
      Figure 9. The ADF edge guides.
      
   
   


4. Check the ADF unit feed rollers:
   
   
   
   
   1. Open the cover of the ADF by pulling up the grey lip, as shown below:
      
      
   
   
   2. Check thoroughly for fragments of paper and foreign objects. Take care not to tear any jammed paper when you remove it.
      
      
   
   
   3. Use the green gear (circled in yellow below) to turn the paper feed rollers and feed through jammed paper:
      
      
      
   
   
   4. Paper dust or foreign material on the rollers may cause paper to misfeed. Clean these parts with a damp, well-wrung cloth:
      
      
      
      
      1. The upper paper pickup rollers (circled in red, above top left). You can turn these by hand.
         
         
         
      
      
      2. The lower paper pickup rollers. These will rotate as you turn the green gear (circled in yellow above). See the inset for a close-up of the lower rollers.
         
      
      
   
   
   5. When complete, close all the covers.
      
      
   
   
   6. If the printer is displaying "ADF Jam, press start to continue", press the B/W Start button to clear the error:
      
      
   
   
   7. Test the printer by scanning or faxing via the ADF unit.
      
   
   
   


5. Check that the ADF unit sensors are not obstructed.
   
   
   
   
   
   
   1. Open the cover of the ADF unit.
      
      
      
   
   
   2. Look at Figure 12 below. Check the position of the black plastic parts (the actuators) circled in red.
      
      
      
   
   
   3. If the black plastic actuators do not stick out from the ADF cover, they may have been pushed out of position by a paper misfeed and be obscuring the ADF sensors. Tap the back of the ADF unit firmly to release the actuators.
      
      
   
   
   4. When complete, close all the covers. Check and test the printer as explained in Step 6.d.vi.
      

Hope this helps.

Hello,
The sensor may be dirty even if it looks like there is no paper jam. Take a bottle of compressed air and give it a once over. Make sure you don't shake or tip the compressed air as you don't want to fast freeze anything.
If this does nothing, you probably have a failed sensor which will need replacing.

Canon Pixma MX330, ADF error, Code : 2,103,0
Here's what I found. There were no stuck gears or pieces of plastic caught anywhere.
The ****** can still feed paper, except for (consistently) the last page -->error/stuck.
1) In order to CLEAR THE ERROR you need to do two things
a) & b):
a) Press OK, WITH THE HOOD OPEN, with a piece of paper loaded in the ADF, being careful to grab the paper manually as it comes out of the bottom of the hood.
b) Windex the strip of glass surface which sits under the ADF next to the platen. This needs to be done with attention to minute detail, and a bright LED flashlight; since ink smudges off of documents and collects on the glass with alarming frequency. The machine may think these smudges are caught/jammed paper.
2) In order to SCAN a stack of paper, add one blank sheet to the bottom of your document. This page will be the one that
fails to clear the ADF, generates an error, and must be manually cleared before the next job.
The rest of your pages will have already scanned.

Repeat Every Time You Use it

It thinks there is a document stuck in the document handler. Check for a small piece of paper, or a stuck sensor.
