Solutions

Quick Diagnosis

The J2000 error occurs when the DADF system detects a lack of paper movement. Visually inspect the path to identify if the page is wrinkled or trapped before it reaches the scanner.

Step-by-Step Solution

  1. Open the DADF feeder by lifting the top lid.
  2. Remove the document very carefully to ensure no paper fragments remain.
  3. Clean the feed rollers using a microfiber cloth moistened only with water.
  4. Verify the path for any sticky residue or trapped dirt.
  5. Close the lid and reload the documents, ensuring they are perfectly aligned.

Prevention and Maintenance

Remove all staples, clips, or stickers from documents before scanning. Cleaning the feed rollers every two months maintains optimal performance.

When to Call a Technician

If the rollers continue to slip after cleaning or the J2000 error occurs with an empty tray, there may be a fault with the DADF paper detection sensor.

Frequently asked questions

The J2000 signals that a document has jammed in the Automatic Document Feeder (DADF) while being processed.

It is common if you use staples, clips, or if the rollers have excessive toner dust build-up.

Always remove all staples before placing documents and align the paper stack well.
