Adf Function Won't Work...help Please!

I'm trying to print a bunch of documents, so I don't want to have to place them all on the scanner glass.  When I put the papers in the ADF feeder, the light comes on, but when I push the print button, it says "remove the document from the ADF and place it on the scanner glass." Why won't it work? Thanks!

I called Epson, they said to correct ADF problem not feeding to:

1. go to Menu (settings) scroll down to "Restore Default Settings"

2. press Ok, select restore all But WiFi and Fax Settings, press Ok

3. ADF should now work and it removed paper setting as photo which I couldn't change so now it prints a page in seconds rather than minutes !!

I had this problem on my printer and figured it out. The scan setting was set to "fit to page". Any enlarge/reduce setting demands the scanner use the scanner glass. With this instruction it should not accept adf. So.... change the setting to actual size, insert in adf and all is fine again. :-)
