Canon G2500 Ink Absorber Full Reset
The waste ink system in Canon G2500 collects ink used during cleaning cycles. Once the estimated limit is reached, service mode and a compatible counter reset may be required.
Why Canon G2500 reports an absorber error
Cleaning operations send unused ink into absorber pads inside the printer. Canon G2500 estimates their usage with an electronic counter and can lock printing when that value reaches its limit.
Wic Reset Connect is designed to reset the compatible counter in Canon G2500. The physical waste ink system should still be inspected and maintained when necessary.
