5. By referring to Steps 3 and 4, remove the protrusion of the left arm of the MP tray from the groove and lift it up.

6. Lift up the paper placement cover until it attaches to the machine.

   

7. Press down on the center of the MP tray, and then press and hold the white part which is visible through the small window at the bottom of the separation roller. Remove the lower paper feed roller (without gear) by expanding the side protrusion outward and sliding it to the left.

   

8. Press down on the center of the MP tray, place your finger over the small window on the separation roller and push it up to remove the separation roller.
