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.
