The ADF feed rollers are soft rubber and the grip surfaces wear smooth after a while and need replacing. One idea is to use some isopropyl alcohol and a clean cloth to clean the dirt and toner from the feed rollers to get you by. That often will clear up minor feeding issues. Call your service provider or look online for the costs for those roller parts.

Ensure that the proper paper size is being used in the ADF.

Are the paper guides on the ADF tray properly adjusted?

Inspect the ADF separator roll and ADF separator pad for wear. If they are worn,

replace them. If they are dirty or have a buildup on them, clean them with a damp

cloth.

If the ADF fails to pick check to make sure that the paper height in the ADF input

tray is beneath the height marker on the ADF paper guides.

Inspect the paper present sensor on the ADF.


• Check the flags on the sensor. Are they able to move freely? If the sensor

flags are damaged, replace the ADF assembly.

Make sure the ADF cable is securely connected to the ADF and the controller

card.

If the cable is properly connected, perform the following checks:

• Check the ADF cable for continuity.

• Check pin 1 on controller card connector J2 for +5V.

• Pin 3 should be ground.

If voltages are present, replace the ADF.

If replacing the ADF does not fix the problem, replace the controller card.

If the ADF is multi feeding, check the ADF pick roller and pad for dirt. Remove

them from the MFP, and clean them with a lint free cloth and isopropyl alcohol.

If the leading edge of the paper is damaged, instruct the user to lessen the

number of documents being copied from the ADF at one time.

If there are excessive misfeeds from the ADF, verify that the ADF paper tray and

extender are properly installed.

Skews and jams at the ADF paper present sensor might be caused by an
improperly closed ADF cover. Ensure the ADF cover is closed properly.

Documate error 8

Hello.


I am a Support Engineer with Xerox Scanners.

E8 is a Paper Jam error that could be caused by:
- paper crumpling during scan.
- paper is multi-feeding all at once instead of feeding separate.
- scanner continuously tries to feed after paper has fed through.


if the paper is crumpling during the scan, make sure the inside of the scanner is clear of any obstructions. use the paper guides in the ADF tray to keep the paper straight when feeding in.

if the paper is multifeeding while scanning, fan out the pages before inserting them into the scanner. if problem persists, try cleaning the rollers with rubbing alcohol and a lint free cloth.

if scanner tries to continually feed after the paper feeds through, the ADF tray will need to be reseated. open the scanner and remove the ADF tray at the top. line up the 4 keys at the bottom of the tray with the 4 corresponding key slots inside the scanner. push the tray back until it clicks into place.


We also have an extensive support site and knowledgebase at
http://www.xeroxscanners.com/en/en/support/


If you continue to experience trouble, please feel free to contact us by calling 800-648-0410.

I have a message on screen sayng " ADF Jam" there is no paper jamming the system. I cannot make this message go away, and so i cnnot use any other function of the printer. How might I clear...

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.

Thank you for using FixYa.

It stopped faxing through the feeder and said feeder errror. its a HP j4680 all in one office jet

Hello, Brittany.

Give this a try (from HP Support):

Complete the following steps to check the condition of the paper, reload the original, and then open and close the Automatic Document Feeder cover.

The main reason for this issue is that the ADF rollers that pick up the papers might not grip the paper because dirt sticks to the rollers.

Step One: Check the paper and reload the original
The condition of the paper, or the amount of paper, might prevent the ADF from picking it up and feeding it through the product.

1. Make sure that the ADF tray contains fewer than 25 sheets of paper.
2. Make sure that the ADF tray contains no photo paper or carbon paper.
3. Make sure the paper in the ADF tray meets the following criteria:
* No curls, folds, creases, or tears
* No staples or clips attached
NOTE: Folded paper, torn paper, or paper with rough edges might not feed correctly. If your original is folded or damaged, either reprint the original or try to smooth out the damaged portions.
4. Reload your original, with the print side up, into the ADF tray. Place the pages so that the top edge of the document goes in first. Slide the paper into the ADF tray until you hear a beep or see a message on the display indicating that the loaded pages are detected.

* If still a problem, go to the next step.

Step Two: Open and close the ADF cover
NOTE: Remove all originals from the ADF tray before you open the ADF cover.

1. Open the ADF cover, and then close it again.
2. Press the OK button.

* If still a problem, go to the next step.

Follow these steps to turn the product off and then on again.

1. Press the Power button to turn off the product.
2. Wait 15 seconds.
3. Press the Power button to turn on the product.

Hope this helps.

Paper jams when using the ADF. Canon IC D780

Hi there,

When using ADF
Note:
* Set a document on the Platen Glass if you want to scan it at optimum quality,
* The area (range) within 0.08"/2mm from the top edge if document cannot be printed since the machine cannot scan it.
*Do not load the following types of documents in the ADF. They will jam.
-Wrinkled or creased paper
- Curled paper
- Torn paper
- Paper with holes
- Carbon paper or carbon-backed paper
- Surface treated paper
- Onion skin or thin paper
- Photogragh or thick paper.
1) Remove any documents from the PLaten Glass.
