Is the paper feed roller covered with paper dust?
Paper dust may decrease the traction of the paper feed roller and result in double feeding due to paper
slippage or insufficient separation.
Cleaning the paper feed roller will restore traction and so prevent double feeding.
For details about cleaning the paper feed roller, see page 248 "Cleaning the Paper Feed Path".
For details about removing the paper feed roller, see the Replacement Guide.
The two-tray wide LCT (Vacuum Feed LCIT RT5120) does not have paper feed rollers.
Wrong Detection of Double Feeding
Depending on the cause of the problem, do one the following:
An envelope is being used.
