I just bought a Panasonic KX-FPG-376 Phone/Fax. When I try to fax 5 pages it takes all 5 through at once and there is nothing in the book on why or what to adjust. Help
Thank You

The KX-FPG-376 is an older Panasonic fax with an automatic document feeder (ADF). If the ADF is pulling several sheets at once instead of one at a time, the most common causes are sheets sticking together (paper weight, humidity, static, carbon copies) or worn/dirty pickup and separation parts. Quick checks to try first: fan the stack, remove staples/torn edges, use plain copy paper, align the guides, and do not exceed the ADF capacity.

Try this simple troubleshoot sequence:

  • Run a quick test with 1–3 plain sheets to reproduce the problem. If a single sheet feeds fine but multiple stick, it points to separation/pickup issues.
  • Clean the ADF rollers and separation pad: power off, open the ADF, wipe rollers with a lint‑free cloth lightly dampened with isopropyl alcohol while rotating the rollers by hand, let dry completely. Avoid oils or abrasive cleaners.
  • Re-test with fresh paper, fanning the stack before loading and keeping within the recommended capacity. Also try different paper weights; glossy or adhesive residue increases sticking.
  • If cleaning helps, repeat periodically. If not, the pickup roller or separation pad is likely worn and needs replacement.

As suggested, persistent problems are usually hardware faults — contact Panasonic service or a local office-equipment repair shop for parts or replacement rollers. As noted, the thread is old, but the maintenance steps above remain useful. Safety note: unplug the unit before accessing internal parts. A practical short‑term workaround is to use the manual single‑sheet feed or scan pages and fax/send them from a PC while arranging repair or replacement.

Erm... This post is over 5 months old. I think it's safe to assume nobody was going to answer it, OurNation.

As a suggestion to the OP, though, you might want to try calling Panasonic technical support. If it's designed to pull one at a time from a stack of that many, it might be a bad fax.
