Cleaning and Maintenance
Replacing the media tray separator pad
The printer uses a separator pad, sometimes referred to as the pick pad, in the
media tray to help separate sheets of media being drawn from the tray. If the
customer often experiences media picking problem, such as double-picks, from
the upper media tray or lower paper tray, you may need to replace the media
tray separator pad. A visible wear pattern on the separator pad is also an
indication that it is time to replace it.
A replacement separator pad and installation instructions are included in each
replacement maintenance tray box.
1. Remove the upper or lower tray from the printer.
2. Remove any media loaded in the tray.
3.
Turn the tray over and locate the two tabs associated with the
replaceable separator pad.
4. Pinch the two tabs together to release the separator pad assembly
from the media tray.
