canon mp620 printer part came out

[barfl2]

The smaller Canon MP540 has an auto open door feature, to open the paper output door, when a print job is sent to the printer. That made me think of a door locking part, maybe the MP620 also has this feature?

But where did the part come out from? Please some more details. If the part came from the rear tray or the paper cassette, I think The Hat may be right in suggesting the part has something to do with the paper feed.

I have a MP 620 and your suggestion is the most likely. When the front door opens, it in turn lifts up 2 flaps to support the paper, looking with a torch underneath those flaps there is a white plastic part. There are 2 1 each side. Practically everything else on this M/C is black

OK Ive gotten some more Photos from Clarence, let see if we can make a better educated guess.

One question Id like to ask is that the position you found this unknown part in. ?

Here's a photo of the side of the printhead carriage in a MG5350. Can this be it? Can you guys check this in other models?

I think you are right, and that the part is some guide to prevent slack in the print head carriage system.

Here the part is seen from the other side in a Canon MP630, which I think is mechanically identical to the MP620:
The printer is not mine; you don't find compatible cartridges in my printers, only refilled OEM. But the compatibles seem to work well.

I think we have now identified the part, and I hope it is not impossible to get it back in place.

thanks to everyone that helped me on this site the mp620 printer is up and running again... the photos in post #14 and #15 shows where the part went and it was broke off..

but a little super glue worked,,,, don't know how long it will last but well see..


a pain in the you know where to get it back in place... it rides on the rail in front of the print head to keep the print head in the right place


thanks
