Canon G3510 Ink Absorber Full Reset
Canon G3510 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 G3510 ink absorber warning
The absorber pads collect ink generated during print-head cleaning. Canon G3510 tracks those maintenance cycles in memory rather than measuring the pads directly.
Wic Reset Connect is designed to reset the compatible counter in Canon G3510. The physical waste ink system should still be inspected and maintained when necessary.
