Replacing the media tray separator pad

Approximate time to complete: 2 minutes

The printer uses a separator pad in the media tray to help separate sheets of media being drawn from the tray. If you often experience problems with the printer picking multiple sheets 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 the separator pad.

Note Noises that result from picking and feeding transparency media is normal and is not an indication that the separator pad should be replaced.

A replacement separator pad and installation instructions are included in each maintenance tray box. To avoid media picking problems, replace the separator pad in the media tray each time you replace the printerÕs depleted maintenance tray.

Note Media feeding problems can also be caused by incorrectly loading the tray. Refer to ÒLoading media traysÓ on page 2-15 and ÒMedia weightÓ on page 3-32.
