The Original Document Jams While Feeding

Copier Repair Tips > Copier Troubleshooting and Repair Tips > Document Feeder Tips & Fixes

When you say original does not feed, there a few things to look at:

  1. Did you remember to remove all staples from the original? 
  2. Does the original move at all? if not, 
    1. check to see if you are not trying to feed too many originals at once.
    2. Fan the originals and make sure they are not stuck together.
    3. Make sure the original document is seated properly
    4. Perhaps the feeder is not closed properly or the copier might sense an original on the glass. check the status of the feeder. Try opening and closing it.
  3. Does it go through the motion except the paper does not go pass the feed tires? (It then displays a jam)
    1. The feed tires may be dirty and slipping.
    2. Do you see any "lip" on the original that was jammed?  If so, there may be something stuck on feed section, Most likely a staple preventing the paper from going through
      TIP >>  Align that original with the feeding entrance, look through the path where the lip is on the paper to see what is blocking it. Try to remove it if you can.
    3. Are there more than one sheets trying to go through at the same time (Double feeding)?  The separator pads/rollers may be dirty
  4. If you feed the documents "face up", does is jam when it is turning over?  The copier may not detect the paper being fed through due to a dirty sensor or a pad

If all fails, call your service center and have the copier serviced.  You can always ask the tech what the problem was and if it is something that you could have done your self, please be sure to post it on our Copier Forum.
