Canon iP7200 Ink Absorber Full Reset

The “Ink Absorber Full” / service required message on Canon iP7200 is common after many cleaning cycles. In most cases, a counter reset restores printing.

During head cleaning, surplus ink is routed to internal absorber pads. Canon iP7200 monitors this via a counter and can lock printing at a threshold.

This page is prepared for Canon iP7200. Service mode instructions are shown only when a matching series procedure is known.

What You May Notice

• ‘Ink Absorber Full’ / ‘Service Required’ message
• Support/service code (varies by series)
• Printing blocked after cleaning cycles
• Reset required to continue printing

Reset the Ink Absorber Counter

Completing the reset clears the internal ink absorber counter stored in printer memory and restores normal operation.

Warnings

Treat the reset as a maintenance step. If your printer has extremely high usage, consider cleaning/replacing absorber pads to avoid overflow.
