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.
