  1. Power off and lift the scanner unit.
  2. Inspect the path for paper debris or foreign objects.
  3. Remove the paper gently with both hands.
  4. Close the unit and reboot so the carriage recalibrates.

Prevention and Maintenance

Do not overfill the paper tray. Fan the paper stack to prevent sticking. Clean feed rollers with a damp cloth every 6 months to maintain grip.
