Canon MB5155 Reset Ink Absorber – Complete Tutorial

Canon MB5155 Ink Absorber Full Reset

The “Ink Absorber Full” / service required message on Canon MB5155 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 MB5155. Service mode instructions are shown only when a matching series procedure is known.

Reset the Ink Absorber Counter

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

Before You Continue

If absorber pads are truly saturated, ignoring maintenance can lead to ink leakage inside the printer. The counter reset only removes the software lock.
