Solution

Overview
 

The ADF cover may not shut completely on one side if you press only on one side to close it.

 

Check the cover
 

Even if the ADF cover is not fully closed, the LED indicator will still light up, thus making it appear that the ADF is ready (see image below).

The LED indicator will light up as if Ready even though the cover is not fully closed.

Scanning using the ADF while the cover is not fully closed will result in ADF Cover Open Jam or Error Code 290.11.

IMPORTANT! Make sure the ADF cover is closed completely on both sides before making copies in the ADF. Recommended close: Push on both the left and the right-hand sides of the cover at the same time, or on its center.
