Separation pad HP RM1-4966-020CN

The HP RM1-4966-020CN separation pad is a replacement feed component engineered for Laser/LED printers and specifically compatible with the HP LaserJet CP3525dn. It is designed to keep sheets separated as they feed from the tray to the print path, reducing double feeds and paper jams. Constructed in durable materials and finished in black and grey, the pad supports consistent pick-up performance across a range of paper weights and finishes, contributing to reliable printer operation and reduced maintenance downtime.

Advantages

This separation pad provides stable sheet separation to minimize misfeeds and paper jams, helping maintain print throughput. Its durable construction resists wear from repeated feeding cycles, extending service intervals compared with worn factory pads. The part is designed to match the feeding geometry of compatible HP paper trays, ensuring consistent pick-up across standard office papers and light cardstock. Easy to install, the pad supports reliable long-term performance and reduces the need for frequent intervention.

Suitable for

• Office environments using the HP LaserJet CP3525dn
• Print queues with medium-to-high daily page volumes
• Environments requiring reduced paper jams and maintenance
• Replacing worn or damaged separation pads to restore feeding reliability

Key specifications

• Function: paper separation/feed pad for laser printers
• Compatibility: designed for use with HP LaserJet CP3525dn paper feed mechanism
• Material finish: durable friction surface in black/grey
• Application: tray pick-up for standard office paper and similar media weights

How to use

Power off the printer and open the paper tray or access panel according to the printer service instructions. Remove the old or worn separation pad by releasing any retaining clips or screws, taking note of the pad orientation. Fit the replacement pad in the same position, ensuring the friction surface faces the paper stack and that it sits flush in its seating. Reattach clips or screws and close the tray or panel. Power the printer back on and run a test print to confirm reliable feed and separation.

Usage recommendations

To maintain consistent feeding performance, replace the separation pad when you observe repeated misfeeds, double feeds, or increased paper jams. Use the pad with paper types within the printer's supported weight range and avoid bent or wrinkled sheets. Regularly inspect the tray and pick-up area for dust and debris and clean according to the printer manufacturer's maintenance guidance.
