Samsung Multifunction Printer Error Code U3-3313

U3-3313 is a document jam error specific to the ADF or DADF unit on Samsung multifunction printers. It means the printer's sensors detected that a document failed to move through the automatic feeder as expected. The error halts all scanning and copying functions until the jam is cleared and the feeder is confirmed operational.

A power cycle or soft reset will typically clear the error code from the display, but it will return immediately if the underlying cause has not been resolved. The jam must be physically cleared and any faulty connections or components must be addressed before the printer will resume normal ADF/DADF operation. Resetting without fixing the root cause is only a temporary measure.

If the fix involves only clearing a paper jam or reseating a cable, there is no parts cost and only your time is required. Replacement ADF roller kits typically range from $15 to $50 depending on the specific printer model. If the ADF/DADF drive unit itself needs replacement, parts and labor costs can range from $80 to $200 or more, depending on parts availability and service rates in your area.

Start by opening the ADF/DADF cover and carefully removing any jammed or torn paper from the entire feed path, including areas beneath the rollers. After clearing the path, check that the cable connecting the ADF/DADF drive unit to the scanner is firmly seated. If the error returns after clearing the jam, inspect the pick and separation rollers for wear and test the drive unit connection for damage.

The printer disables ADF/DADF functions when U3-3313 is active, so attempting to force documents through the feeder during this condition risks damaging the feed rollers, tearing the document, or worsening any existing paper jam. It is safe to use the flatbed glass for scanning if available, but the ADF/DADF should not be operated until the error is resolved.
