Brother MFC L6970DW Document Jam Repair Guide
Below you will find the Brother MFC L6970DW Document Jam Repair Guide followed by links to purchase the replacement parts to fix problems with the ADF separation pad. These pads seem to last around 50,000 before they start multiple feeding and causing other issues.
Yet another regarded downside to these pads is the fact they may become removed from the holder assembly. If this occurs, the paper strikes the upper lip of the holder as it feeds through and causes the paper to jam up right beneath the roller assembly. Obviously, replacement of the separation pad is needed once such a thing happens. Some people assume the feed rollers are the difficulty because the pad goes missing in action and when they look inside they don’t notice so they don’t it should be there. Hence they consider the feed roller. However, it’s often just as simple as putting in a new separation pad.
Of course some techs like to upgrade both parts simultaneously. So down below I’ve provided both parts for order. Now if you only have 50,000 pages through the ADF or if you aren’t tech savvy then you usually only need or should attempt to replace the ADF separation pad.
