Canon MB2350 Ink Absorber Full Reset

The “Ink Absorber Full” / service required message on Canon MB2350 is common after many cleaning cycles. In most cases, a counter reset restores printing.

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 MB2350. Service mode instructions are shown only when a matching series procedure is known.

How the Error Appears

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

Perform the Waste Ink Counter Reset

Once the counter is cleared, Canon MB2350 should exit the locked state and printing should resume normally.

Before You Continue

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