  • If your printer is telling you to load more paper and your tray is full of paper, you should check pick up rollers. See video to check the rollers that are on WF-3720 and WF-3730 printers. Easy fix.

    OMG!!!!! you are amazing! We have a WF-3720 and the ADF was not working properly. The paper would go in and twist sideways. I am working on a home project and needed an ADF badly!! No office tech support to call for a replacement printer. Standing at the printer and lifting the cover sheet by sheet was frustrating and very time consuming. I watched your video and followed your instructions about cleaning the rollers and like magic, the paper went straight in and now works perfectly. Thank you a million times over. Marilyn, Ocala, Fl.

    It would be soooo helpful if in your “printer repair and mantenamce” playlist, you make a playlist for HP, another playlist for Cannon and another for Epson, etc. And even better would be to clump together like printers, ie. All HP Photosmart. Maybe alphabetize groups in one manufacturer’s playlist. 189 videos is a lot to sort through when you need help.

    Hi, thanks so much for posting this video. But it hasn't resolved my problem with the ADF.
    I'm using a 3620 which I'm guessing is similar.
    It appears there are rollers inside the lid, just before the paper gets to the platen (just ahead of the white pressure pad that presses the doc against the glass). It appears when the doc gets to these they don't take the paper, or they don't take it evenly since the paper I pull out looks like it's gotten slightly crooked. They're hard to see but I think I see four that aren't easily accesible to clean. Can you comment on these and if I can open up the lid to access them? I don't want to start removing screws and have springs fly apart or anything.
    (I'm a retired IT guy of 24 years, but printers weren't much part of my work!)

    • @303electronics
      @303electronics  3 роки тому

      Hi. Thanks for the comment. It seems that one of the rollers is bad or dirty. Another thing is to make sure the cover is closed all the way. Also, check to see that the adf cover is not out of place at the hinges.

  • @sherylparker6580
    @sherylparker6580 2 роки тому

    My printer picks up several sheets of paper at a time and prints maybe half or a quarter of the first page on the first page and prints lesser amounts on successive pages. So, a 2 page document can end up using 10 pages of paper and just wastes the paper. I've had it for about 3 years. Otherwise works fine. As it is, if I have a 12 page document I have to sit by the printer and feed in 1 page of paper at a time into the paper tray.

    Will this correct the problem of multiple pieces of paper being picked up at one time?

    • @303electronics
      @303electronics  3 роки тому

      Usually multiple papers are picked up if the settings in the paper tray are not set correctly, which causes the printer to pick up pushed up papers. Also, check the tray to make sure the ribbed stop piece is not broken off. That piece helps separate the pages.

Its extraordinary how easy this brand of printers stop working and need to be thrown out. This is our third Epson that some stupid trivial issue has led to throwing it out.

      @@303electronics sorry i was being very dramatic when I wrote that comment. I’ll blame it on pregnancy hormones 🙈
      I just wiped the area where the paper feeds in and it worked.

    Thanks for this video, but a new printer shouldn't be jamming like this. Very poor quality cheap plastic bottom line.

      I agree with you, but since these printers are built to the minimum sizes, anything can cause the jams. If it is ongoing, there must be something out of place insde the printer or back duplex unit is not prooperly loscked or placed.
