Document feeder is jammed. I tried to pull out the document page, but I cannot.

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.

Message saying document Jam but can't find any paper stuck anywhere. Do you have any suggestions?

document feeder jam

I got adventurous and removed the screws holding the document feeder. I then used a can of air and blew into the gears and then reassembled the feeder. It works perfectly.

you will need to replace the adf assembly or the portion of adf roller which was dameged.

typically one should open th ecover and take out the jam inth direction of papermovement only


happy faxing
