Canon iP1300 Ink Absorber Full Reset
The waste ink system in Canon iP1300 collects ink used during cleaning cycles. Once the estimated limit is reached, service mode and a compatible counter reset may be required.
Why Canon iP1300 reports an absorber error
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 iP1300. The physical waste ink system should still be inspected and maintained when necessary.
