Inexpensive desktop copier (xerox workcenter x88) -- grabs two sheets of paper each time, causes error E1.
Works fine -- if you feed each BY HAND.
Copy quality excellent, etc -- only pbm is this sheet-feeding thing.
(Sheet "feeder" is simply same old method all these desktop machines (printers, copiers, ...) where you put maybe a half-inch stack of paper into a sort of tray -- tray-chute is probably a more descriptive term, maybe 20-degrees off vertical.
You put or drop the paper (of course after manipulating (fanning) it by hand to make sure no two pieces are stuck together, no static electricity making them stick together, getting it perfectly lined up, etc) [yes, I know how to do this -- back in early 70's, I had a 914 (xerox's very first copier) in my living room], and then carefully placing it down into the chute.
Hit "start", and little grippers grab the top sheet and pull it into the machine. At least that's what it *used* to do.
But now it grabs two sheets, which less than a second later jams the machine.
Any idea what kind of fiddling, slight bending, adjusting, etc, it takes to get it to pick up only a single sheet at a time?
If desired, I can shoot a close-up photo of the mechanism and upload it somewhere.
