Documents Jam in the Automatic Document Feeder If you’re loading legal-size paper, insert only 10 sheets at a time to prevent paper feeding problems. If a document jams inside the ADF, follow the steps on the LCD screen to clear the jam. If necessary, check the following areas: 1. Open the ADF cover and remove any jammed paper. Caution:Do not try to remove the paper without opening the ADF cover first, or you could damage the mechanism. 2. Leave the ADF cover open, then raise the ADF. 3. Remove the jammed paper. 4. Lower the ADF and close the cover. 5. Reload the paper. Make sure the corners of the paper are not bent, folded, or curled up.
