HP LJ 1320 -- Separation Pad

Separation pad P/N is RM1-1298.

Replacement is a no-brainer (two prominent screws), but there's a little detail to it that tends to go unnoticed.

Just below the separation pad is a tiny torsion spring that's part of the tray's ground continuity 'wiring'. The upper end of the spring is supposed to bear on the metal surface of the separation pad assembly, not lie underneath it. It should look like this.

Whether this is correctly done or not is really of no consequence, but I thought I'd point it out.
