Canon MX377 Ink Absorber Full Reset
An absorber warning on Canon MX377 does not necessarily mean that the printer is mechanically damaged. The software counter and the physical pads must be considered separately.
What stops Canon MX377 from printing
The lock is based on accumulated maintenance activity. Resetting Canon MX377 changes the counter value but does not remove ink already held in the absorber material.
Wic Reset Connect is designed to reset the compatible counter in Canon MX377. The physical waste ink system should still be inspected and maintained when necessary.
