Epson ET-3750 ADF Unit Replacement

Introduction

Go to step 1 ↓

If the Automatic Document Feeder (ADF) of your Epson ET-3750 is no longer working—for example, because it no longer feeds paper or regularly causes paper jams—you can replace the entire ADF unit.
This guide shows you step by step how to open the device, disconnect the ADF unit cable, and release and replace the ADF from the hinges.

⚠️ During the entire repair, be sure to keep the printer as level as possible to prevent ink from leaking.

      • The ADF cable is routed through two cable guides.

      • Use a plastic opening tool to gently lift the guides to remove the cable.

      • Work carefully—the cable runs through tight channels that can break easily.

      • The ADF unit is attached with two hinges (not screwed in).

      • Gently squeeze the clips on the hinges and lift off the ADF.
