Canon iP2200 Ink Absorber Full Reset
An absorber warning on Canon iP2200 does not necessarily mean that the printer is mechanically damaged. The software counter and the physical pads must be considered separately.
Understanding the Canon iP2200 ink absorber warning
The lock is based on accumulated maintenance activity. Resetting Canon iP2200 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 iP2200. The physical waste ink system should still be inspected and maintained when necessary.
