Canon MG3670 Ink Absorber Full Reset

Canon MG3670 can lock printing when the waste ink (ink absorber) counter hits a predefined threshold. This guide explains how to reset it.

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 MG3670. Service mode instructions are shown only when a matching series procedure is known.
