Separation Pad Unit Holder
SERVICING:
The separation pad (FL3-5538) mentioned in the above "Factory measure" has been changed to the latest
type for improving the paper separation capability more. However, since the production of the models
applied to this Service Information was discontinued, the latest separation pads were not equipped with
those models when they were shipped from the factory.
If the above symptom should occur, prepare the separation pad unit (FM1-A719), the reinforcement plate
(FC9-4978) and 2 pieces of the P screw (XB4-5301-005). Then, follow steps A) & B) below.
A)
Remove the separation pad and the compression spring. Instead, replace them with the separation pad
unit (FM1A719) which consists of the latest type separation pad and the new type compression spring
[1] as a set. For the latest type separation pad, the material and shape of the separation sheet have been
changed and the weight [2] has been added. The new type compression spring has a higher spring
pressure. (spring pressure of the old type: 274.8g, the new type: 344.2g) In addition, the old type
compression spring has a metallic color, while the new type is blue.
