Canon IX6510 Printer Ink Absorber Full – How to Reset

Canon IX6510 Ink Absorber Full Reset

When Canon IX6510 triggers an ink absorber full condition, the printer may block printing as a protective measure. The solution is typically a waste ink counter reset.

Inside Canon printers, absorber pads collect excess ink from cleaning and maintenance cycles. The printer uses an internal counter to estimate pad saturation.

This page is prepared for Canon IX6510. Service mode instructions are shown only when a matching series procedure is known.
