Use the Separation Enhancer

Introduction

The separation enhancer improves the separation performance of specific media, such as coated media. The table below gives recommendations about the use of the separation enhancer.

To prevent the risk of double sheet separations, it is advised to remove the separation enhancer in all other situations.

The trays three and four both contain a separation enhancer. You can use the separation enhancer in all the trays.
