Canon PIXMA MP620B Scanner Light Replacement

Introduction

If the scanner on your Canon PIXMA MP620B is not scanning your document and the scanner light did not turn on, it has possibly burnt out and needs replacement.

However, before using this guide, check to see if your driver is up to date. If your printer does not have the right software, the light will not turn on because the printer will not be able to read your commands. You can find driver and software updates here.
