Clean the automatic document feeder
If the automatic document feeder picks up multiple pages or if it does not pick up plain
paper, you can clean the rollers and separator pad. Lift the automatic document feeder
cover to access the pick assembly inside the automatic document feeder, clean the
rollers or separator pad, and then close the cover.
