Brother Separator Pad

Engineered from a durable rubber/plastic composite, the Brother Separator Pad SP-A0001 is the critical component that prevents multi-feeding in high-volume document scanners. Without it, double feeds and misfeeds halt productivity; with it, every page glides through the ADF with precision.

Overview

This genuine Brother separator pad is a user-replaceable maintenance item designed for the ADS series of desktop scanners. It sits inside the automatic document feeder, applying just the right friction to separate sheets one by one. Over time, the pad wears down, leading to frequent multi-feeds and paper jams. Replacing it restores your scanner to like-new feeding reliability.
