Changing the printer separation pad
Note
Before you change the separation pad,
clean the pickup roller. See
Cleaning the
pickup roller
for instructions.
If your input tray feeds more than one
page at a time, you might need to
change the printer separation pad.
Recurring feed problems indicate that
the printer separation pad is worn. See
Accessories and ordering information
to
order a new printer separation pad.

To pry the separation pad up from
the spring-loaded base, insert a

Reach in through the opening, push
the spring-loaded base down with
one hand, and pull the separation
pad up with the other hand.

With one hand, position the new
separation pad in the slot of the
previous separation pad (A). With

pad firmly into place.

Make sure that the separation pad is
straight and that there is no space
between the separation pad and the
spring-loaded base. If the separation
pad is not straight or you see space on
one side, remove the separation pad,
make sure that the larger tab is on the
right, reinsert the separation pad, and
snap both sides into place.
