A further well-known downside to these pads is that often they may become separated from the holder assembly. When this happens, the paper strikes the top of the lip of the holder as it passes through and causes the paper to jam up right underneath the roller assembly. Naturally, replacing of the separation pad is required once such a thing happens. A lot of people assume the feed rollers are the difficulty because the pad goes missing in action and when they search inside they don’t see it so they don’t it should be there. Therefore they consider the feed roller. However, it’s often just as simple as installing a fresh separation pad.
Currently several technicians prefer to upgrade both parts simultaneously. So listed below I’ve listed both parts for order. Now if you only have 50,000 pages through the ADF or if you are not technical savvy then you usually only need or should attempt to replace the ADF separation pad.
