There's probably something stuck in it (like a staple, or a stuck piece of a sticker or label, or the corner of a dog-eared page that tore off).

Shut the printer off, unplug it, get some canned air, lift the document feeder up from the platen (as if you were going to make a single copy of something without using the document feeder), and spray into it for a few short bursts. That will probably loosen whatever's stuck in there.

Just don't spray for seconds at a time, that can cause damage. Short bursts only.
