Replacing the printer separation pad Note Before you change the separation pad, clean the pickup roller. See “Cleaning the printer pickup roller” on page 49 for instructions. If the input tray feeds more than one page at a time, you might have to replace the printer separation pad. Recurring feed problems indicate that the printer separation pad is worn. CAUTION During this procedure, be careful not to break the tabs on the separation pad. 1 Unplug the power cord from the printer, and allow the printer to cool. 2 Remove the input trays. 3 Locate the blue separation pad.
(For the HP LaserJet 1300 series, you might need to push down the media lift plate to see the separation pad.) 42 Chapter 3 - Maintenance ENWW
