Document feeder will not pull pages
The top feeder grinds or reports no document even with a full stack loaded.
01 · Identify — does this match what you see?
- “Place document” message with paper loaded
- Feeder pulls several sheets at once
- Pages skew as they feed
02 · Resolve — follow in order
- 1
Remove the stack and fan it. Staples, clips and folded corners stop the feed sensor.
- 2
Slide the paper guides in so they just touch the edges without squeezing.
- 3
Wipe the two grey rubber rollers inside the feeder lid with a slightly damp cloth, turning them as you go.
- 4
Load no more than 20 sheets of ordinary paper at a time.
- 5
Close the feeder lid until it clicks — a lid not fully latched reads as no document.
Pro tip
Glossy photos and receipts should go on the glass; the feeder rollers cannot grip them.
