Paper Feeder picking up extra paper

The primary feeder is picking up an extra sheet of paper every time we print. Any advice? The issue could be environmental…we have two of these and both are doing this.

Answer this question I have this problem too

Is this a good question?

Devon Dillenbeck static and humidity can do this. Try some heavier and higher-quality paper and see if that changes things.
