Canon MX495 Ink Absorber Full Reset
The waste ink system in Canon MX495 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 MX495
Canon MX495 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 MX495. The physical waste ink system should still be inspected and maintained when necessary.

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.

If Canon MX495 is not detected
- Run Wic Reset Connect as Administrator and keep internet access active for key validation.
- If the power light blinks, resolve the displayed cartridge, paper or mechanical error before trying service mode again.
