How to Reset Ink Absorber on Canon MB2060

Canon MB2060 Ink Absorber Full Reset

The “Ink Absorber Full” / service required message on Canon MB2060 is common after many cleaning cycles. In most cases, a counter reset restores printing.

Ink absorber pads store waste ink during normal operation. Canon firmware tracks this using a software counter and may stop printing when it reaches the limit.

This page is prepared for Canon MB2060. Service mode instructions are shown only when a matching series procedure is known.

How the Error Appears

Service / maintenance warning on the screen or driver

Finalize the Reset and Restore Printing

After service mode is enabled (if required), the waste ink counter can be reset using a supported reset procedure/software.

Warnings

Resetting the counter does not physically clean the absorber pads. For heavy usage, pads may eventually need cleaning or replacement.
