When I first extended the front feeder tray of my Epson 3800 printer, I heard a snap, and this piece of plastic flew out from the left side.

Any clues what it is for? epson part 012.JPG

The service manual for the Epson Stylus Pro 3800 is found here: https://www.manualslib.com/manual/820107/Epson-Stylus-Pro-3800.html This manual has an appendix with "Exploded diagrams" or assembly/parts drawings. These diagrams start from page 289. See diagram 5. Here is a crop from diagram 5. I think the mysterious plastic part is either circled in red or green:
