Common causes

  • 1Foreign objects like staples inside the feed path.
  • 2Dirty scanner glass leading to sensor detection errors.
  • 3Worn-out rubber feed rollers causing paper slip.
  • 4Mechanical obstruction in the ADF hinge assembly.

Solutions

Quick Diagnosis

This error stops batch scanning. If the machine cannot detect the document stack, it triggers an ADF feeder failure in Xerox printer units, preventing the execution of copy or scan commands.

Step-by-Step Solution

  1. Visual Check: Open the ADF lid and look for staples, clips, or torn paper fragments.
  2. Clean Scanner Strip: Use a soft, lint-free cloth to clean the thin strip of glass where the ADF sensors read the document.
  3. Rollers Cleaning: Gently wipe the rubber feed rollers to ensure they have enough grip.
  4. Reset: Close the ADF and try scanning a single sheet to verify functionality.

Maintenance and Prevention

Never scan documents that have staples or clips attached. Keep the scanner glass and ADF rubber rollers clean from dust using an approved scanner cleaning fluid or a slightly damp microfibre cloth to avoid sensor misreads.

When to Call a Technician

If the error 005-280 remains after a thorough cleaning of the glass and rollers, the internal sensor board or the feeder motor may require a professional repair.
