Explanation

Double-feeding (picking up two sheets at once) is most commonly caused by poor paper quality. Low-quality paper often has rough or sticky surfaces, excessive static, or inconsistent thickness, causing sheets to cling together and be pulled through simultaneously. While worn feed rollers can also cause feeding issues, they more typically cause misfeeds or jams rather than consistent double feeds. Poor paper quality is the most direct and common cause of sheets sticking together and being fed as a pair.
