The waste ink counter inside Canon iP4940
Canon iP4940 uses a stored counter as a maintenance safeguard. Reaching the threshold can produce an Ink Absorber Full, Service Required or related support-code message.
Wic Reset Connect is designed to reset the compatible counter in Canon iP4940. The physical waste ink system should still be inspected and maintained when necessary.
