Explanation

The separator pad prevents multiple sheets from feeding at once. If the separator pad is worn or damaged, multiple blank sheets can be pulled into the paper path along with the intended sheet, causing a single page's content to be spread across or accompanied by unwanted blank sheets. A transfer ribbon and transfer belt are involved in moving toner to paper, not paper feeding. The duplexing assembly handles two-sided printing. Only the separator pad controls single-sheet feeding from the tray.
