An additional well-known challenge with these pads is that they can become detached from the holder assembly. At this point, the paper strikes the upper lip of the holder as it passes through and causes the paper to jam up right under the roller assembly. Naturally, replacing of the separation pad is necessary as soon as such a thing happens. A lot of people think the feed rollers are the issue 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. Hence they consider the feed roller. However, it’s often just as simple as installing a new separation pad.
Now numerous technicians choose to remove and replace both parts simultaneously. So below I’ve listed both parts for purchase. Now if you merely have 50,000 pages through the ADF or if you aren’t tech savvy then you probably only need or should attempt to replace the ADF separation pad.
