Canon Mg5230 Encoder Strip Needs To Be Reattached... Please Help

I've had this printer for over a year, but it came with the wrong ink cartridges. I finally got a great deal on 4 sets and as soon as I tried to set the printer up with my desktop, I started to get all kinds of error messages. Then, after several hours of getting nowhere nearer to printing than I had been a year ago, I somehow managed to pull out the clear plastic encoder strip! There is an 'L' on the the left side and also a small coil or spring. I just need to know how to please put it back the way it was, but now matter where I search or the terms that I use, I'm getting nowhere. Please help me!

I hope this helps. There is usually a spring that holds the encoder strip on either or both ends. The have a hole that the spring is inserted in. The hole brakes and the encoder strip comes off. If you have all the parts including the spring you can modify the encoder strip by cutting a piece of strong tape to fit over where the strip was broken. I use packing tape. Poke a hole in it and reinstall encoder strip. You should also be able to buy a new strip but I am not sure. I also would go to an electronic store and find a tool to help. Buy a spring hook. It is designed to help push on and pull off springs and they only should cost a couple bucks USA.
