Hi travlynn2,

1. The ADF
   unit is the grey paper tray located on the top of the scanner unit.
   Check the following points if it does not feed paper, or you receive an "ADF jam" error message:
   
   


2. Check the position of the ADF document guide:
   
   
   
   
   1. Lift up the ADF unit. Locate the document guide on the underside, as shown here:
      
      
   
   
   2. The document guide should be tucked in behind the grey plastic casing, but a paper jam can push it out of position. Figure 8 below shows the correct (1) and incorrect (2) positions:
      
      
   
   
   3. If your document guide looks like example (2)
      on the right, lift it out on the right-hand side. Tuck it in behind the
      grey section, so that it matches the example on the left (1).
      
   
   
   
   
   
   
   1. Close the scanner unit.
      
      
   
   
   2. If the printer is displaying "ADF Jam, press start to continue", press the B/W Start button to clear the error:
      
      
   
   
   3. Test the printer by scanning or faxing via the ADF unit.
      
   
   


3. Check the ADF edge guides:
   
   
   
   
   
   
   1. The adjustable paper tray edge guides must be set to the correct paper size for the paper you are loading. Otherwise, the paper may skew, misfeed and/or jam.
      
      
      
   
   
   2. Slide the edge guides to enclose the loaded
      paper (in the direction of the yellow arrows below), without causing it
      to bunch or crease. The paper should be aligned with the relevant paper size marker:
      
      Figure 9. The ADF edge guides.
      
   
   


4. Check the ADF unit feed rollers:
   
   
   
   
   1. Open the cover of the ADF by pulling up the grey lip, as shown below:
      
      
   
   
   2. Check thoroughly for fragments of paper and foreign objects. Take care not to tear any jammed paper when you remove it.
      
      
   
   
   3. Use the green gear (circled in yellow below) to turn the paper feed rollers and feed through jammed paper:
      
      
      
   
   
   4. Paper dust or foreign material on the rollers may cause paper to misfeed. Clean these parts with a damp, well-wrung cloth:
      
      
      
      
      1. The upper paper pickup rollers (circled in red, above top left). You can turn these by hand.
         
         
         
      
      
      2. The lower paper pickup rollers. These will rotate as you turn the green gear (circled in yellow above). See the inset for a close-up of the lower rollers.
         
      
      
   
   
   5. When complete, close all the covers.
      
      
   
   
   6. If the printer is displaying "ADF Jam, press start to continue", press the B/W Start button to clear the error:
      
      
   
   
   7. Test the printer by scanning or faxing via the ADF unit.
      
   
   
   


5. Check that the ADF unit sensors are not obstructed.
   
   
   
   
   
   
   1. Open the cover of the ADF unit.
      
      
      
   
   
   2. Look at Figure 12 below. Check the position of the black plastic parts (the actuators) circled in red.
      
      
      
   
   
   3. If the black plastic actuators do not stick out from the ADF cover, they may have been pushed out of position by a paper misfeed and be obscuring the ADF sensors. Tap the back of the ADF unit firmly to release the actuators.
      
      
   
   
   4. When complete, close all the covers. Check and test the printer as explained in Step 6.d.vi.
      

Hope this helps.

Hi
Check the following
--Check the paper in the ADF (automatic document feeder)
--Make sure the ADF pick assembly is in good working condition
--Remove the document feeder and open the ADF cover.
--While lifting the blue-green lever, carefully rotate the pick assembly toward the open ADF cover until it stops.
--Make sure the bottom roller is held firmly in place by the two-catch, which is located to the left and the right of the roller.
--Clean the rollers and separator pad

If there is no button you should be able to lift it from the middle of the adf (right to left). Make sure there is no paper, paper clips, staples etc in there, and clean any sensors if you can see any. If you cant and it still says it, then you will need to get a technician to check the sensors inside the adf.

would be a good idea to check the ADF.
the ADF if the top part of your copier, where you put the originals to be taken one by one and then copied. if it tells you to check it you must open it and check there are no paper stuck inside. and then close it back.
