Cannon mp830 release scanner lock switch and turn power off and back on i don't know where the scanner switch is located or wat to do thank you Vincent

Issue: ERROR LCD: Release the scanner lock switch and turn the power off and back on.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Solution: Unlock the scanner lock switch

The scanner must be unlocked before turning the unit on.

Turn off the power.

Lift the document cover.

The scanner lock switch is on the left hand side of the underside of the document cover.

Slide the scanner lock switch to the release mark (an open padlock icon).

Lock the switch before transporting.

Close the document cover.

Turn the machine on.

If machine still is not working repeat the power off / on cycle waiting 5 seconds in between.

hello, what i have found out so far, sometimes a small bit of tape they use on the scanner and ribbon cable rubs on glass, then catches on the white calibration area, but not all the time, when a machine has been used really well, and taken care of, the scanner just fails, replace whole top unit, not the doc feed, just scanner unit only, if main pcb still good machine will work just fine

See this link. If you search at Fixya, you often will find the answer as it may have been asked before.

Open the scanner cover so you can see the platen glass. Now look on the left side of the glass, and you should see a sliding switch, probably blue in color. Move the switch to the icon that shows an open padlock (unlocked position).

The switch located on the left sid beneath the scanner cover, as you can see in the picture (15).

Make sure to unlock the scanner switch before turning the machine on. Then turn the on/off switch on, off for 5 seconds, then back on.

Does anyone know how to fix error 5020 release the scanner lock switch and turn the power off & on.The Cannon MP810 Printer. Please Help!Thanks

The scanner lock is locked pls unlock it dude...

Do you not have a manual or 'get you started sheet?' It is the first thing you do when unpacking a scanner is to unlock the shipping lock. In all probability it is under the scanner base so if it is a lifting item[to access the printer] check there,or on the backplate of the scanner where all the sockets are. Failing that get onto the Tech support site at Canon.

Hi muffin, Turn off the machine, open the document cover, and then release the scanner lock switch. You'll see it. Any other problems let me know. Peace, Dude
