HP — Replacing the printer separation pad

4 To pry the separation pad up from the spring-loaded base, insert a flat-edged screwdriver in the slot under the separation pad and twist until the tabs are free. CAUTION The tabs are fragile. Be careful not to break them. 5 Reach in through the input tray opening, push the spring-loaded base down with one hand, and pull the separation pad up with the other hand. 6 With one hand, position the new separation pad in the slot of the previous separation pad (A). With the other hand, reach through the input tray opening, and push the spring-loaded base down (B). Note The tab on the right is larger to help you position the separation pad correctly.
