Canon MX720 Ink Absorber Full Reset
Canon MX720 may block print jobs after recording enough cleaning and maintenance cycles. Use the sequence below to enter service mode and reset the stored value.
Understanding the Canon MX720 ink absorber warning
An absorber message concerns both software and maintenance. The counter can be reset, while heavily saturated pads may still need cleaning or replacement.
Wic Reset Connect is designed to reset the compatible counter in Canon MX720. The physical waste ink system should still be inspected and maintained when necessary.
Enter service mode on Canon MX720
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 MX720 is not detected
