Canon GM2090 Ink Absorber Full Reset
The waste ink system in Canon GM2090 collects ink used during cleaning cycles. Once the estimated limit is reached, service mode and a compatible counter reset may be required.
The waste ink counter inside Canon GM2090

Wic Reset Connect is designed to reset the compatible counter in Canon GM2090. The physical waste ink system should still be inspected and maintained when necessary.
