Paper Feed Sensor for Canon PIXMA Printers

The YINGHUA QK1-5016 IP3680 is a replacement paper feed sensor designed for specific Canon PIXMA inkjet printers and multifunction devices. It restores reliable paper detection when the original sensor fails or becomes contaminated. Compatible models include the MP540, MP550, MP568, MP620, MG5100, MG5120, MG5130, MG5152, MG5170, MX860, MX868 and MX878.

Mechanical Interface Limits

The sensor mounts inside the printer chassis and connects via a small flexible cable to the main logic board. Installation requires partial disassembly of the paper feed assembly and careful routing of the connector. The component operates purely through mechanical actuation and an optical or electrical switch; it does not communicate over a data bus. Damage during fitting or incorrect alignment will prevent the printer from detecting paper correctly.
