When to replace the separation pad (retard

The separation pads are consumables that must be replaced
after feeding about every 6,000,000 pages.
A worn separation pad is no longer able to correctly feed a
document and can cause paper jams. If documents no longer
feed correctly as frequent double-feed, replace the separation
pad.
