How do I fix the paper feed mechanism

When I try to feed the paper into the fax, the machine doesn't grab it or grabs all sheets at once. There is a loud clacking sound.

SOURCE: sending a fax

The line isn't always the issue on this error. I've ran into the far end fax being a laser fax and not having a loop current regulator on it, thus creating the issue. Usually this is the person's inside wiring, so its not the phone company's responsability.

An easy fix would be to try to clean the paper feed rollers in the paper pick up area with a gentle cleaner like soap and water or simple green. Do not use alcohol as this will break down the rubber over time. If this doesn't work, you may have drive problem and will need to refer to a professional to resolve.

a clacking noise is not good, what's the make and model of your machine.

Thank You,

SOURCE: intellifax 4750e won't grab paper for outgoing faxes

like the other solution says, try cleaning your feed roller, and last but not least, make sure the rear paper stopper in your paper cassette is not pressed up against paper tightly. best to leave about 1/8' gap.

DP80F FAX WILL NOT FEED ONE PAGE AT A TIME. IT WILL TAKE 1 PAGE , 5 PAGES , 2 PAGES . HOW DO I FIX THIS MACHINE TO FEED ONE PAGE AT A TIME

Potential solution: When putting in several sheets of paper, grab the sheets by one end, and fan the papers (spread them) at the other end. Reverse your grip and do the same thing to the other end.

Reason: paper is cut by a shear. If the blade of the shear is not perfectly sharp, it crushes fibers into the edges of the adjoining sheets. This causes the sheets to misfeed in the random way you describe. Ruffling the paper before putting it into the printer separates the pages so they will feed properly.

Front loading page grab problems.

See that top on which to place paper faxing is a green button should be positioned (to the right or left) in position with several sheets drawn as an indicator. I guess yours is positioned on a single paper which means it does not separate anything you ask.
Good luck to configuration

Paper jam in Panasonic KX-

Your document feed is separate from your received and report prints so that's why your reports are printing ok and the document feeder jams. When you open up the doc feeder and look inside the machine you will see a roller and above it on the cover that opens you will see a rubber pad. Clean both the roller and pad (in fact anything in there that is rubber) with a rubber cleaner, alcohol, or even soap and water on a cloth without it been dripping wet. You will probablt find that they are very dirty. The roller feeds the document in so that needs to be clean and the pad helps to keep all the other docs from feeding in at the same time and that should be very clean so it produces good friction.

Problem is most likely caused by a worn paper pick roller. It would be more expensive to repair this fax than to just replace it.

Material I'm trying to send doesn't 'feed'

does it try to grab the paper?
do you hear anything happening before the beep?

The machine recognises that there is paper, then you should hear the communication, once it has the correct signal telling it the line is available for transmission it will feed the paper.

look at the tires and see if they turn to feed the paper, is there something in the way, do the tires turn,???

if yes clean with alcohol and try again, if the tires are too smooth then they need to be changed.

Grabs two sheets when sending a fax

Sounds like it just needs to be cleaned. If you can give me the make and model of the fax, I'm sure that I can find the manuals for you.
