Take the appropriate action according to the cause of the problem.
There is paper dust on the paper feed roller.

tray.
 Paper dust weakens the traction of the paper feed roller, causing paper slipping or insufficient
separation.

Feed Path)
Paper is not fanned sufficiently.
 Check the paper in the A3/A4 LCTs, the multi bypass unit, and the cover interposer tray.

paper separation.

set at the default position, you may have to adjust it again. Some types of paper may double-
feed more often than others, requiring adjustment. (For details, refer to "PFU Separation Roller
