Canon E300 Ink Absorber Full Reset
When Canon E300 reports that the ink absorber is full, turning it off and on will not normally remove the lock. The printer must be prepared correctly and its counter reset.
Understanding the Canon E300 ink absorber warning
Canon E300 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 E300. The physical waste ink system should still be inspected and maintained when necessary.

- While holding Stop/Reset, press and hold Power.
- Release Stop/Reset but keep holding Power.
