Paper jam in printer:

Paper jam in Automatic Document feeder or ADF:

hello please check it properly.some time their have a small piece of paper.
or clean adf unit & service.

Anita,

Put the pages in the "multiscan" all at once, not just one sheet at a time. The Automatic Document Feeder (ADF) will feed one sheet of your document at a time untill all of the pages are scanned...
Thanks for using FixYa!

Is there a more permanent fix in the meantime? I'm just tired of fiddling each time that I use the ADF

Try to clean the tires with WD 40, apply a small amount only in a white cloth (cotton fabric), and clean it

Advice is terribly difficult without a model number of your machine

Hi, The problem seems to be a piece of debris , paper stuck in the ADF roller assy. You can check this by opening up the adf cover and inspecting the paper path. I have seen where a very small peice can cause paper path problems to where something is blocking the paper> Good Luck!
