Canon IX6880 Ink Absorber Full Reset
The waste ink system in Canon IX6880 collects ink used during cleaning cycles. Once the estimated limit is reached, service mode and a compatible counter reset may be required.
Before resetting Canon IX6880
Cleaning operations send unused ink into absorber pads inside the printer. Canon IX6880 estimates their usage with an electronic counter and can lock printing when that value reaches its limit.
Wic Reset Connect is designed to reset the compatible counter in Canon IX6880. The physical waste ink system should still be inspected and maintained when necessary.
Enter service mode on Canon IX6880
The Stop/Reset press count varies across Canon series. Use the complete service-mode guide and select the procedure for this printer instead of guessing.
