I still receive the error message "Cover is Open" after I closed the scanner cover. (With Video Instructions)

If you still receive the error message Cover is Open, the scanner cover support and scanner cover damper may have not be mounted correctly.

 

The scanner cover support is the bar to support the scanner cover when you lift the scanner cover into the open position.
The scanner cover damper is located inside the left side of the scanner cover as shown in the image below.
