Reset Canon MX710 Waste Ink Counter Easily

Canon MX710 Ink Absorber Full Reset

Canon MX710 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 MX710. Service mode instructions are shown only when a matching series procedure is known.

Finalize the Reset and Restore Printing

Once the counter is cleared, Canon MX710 should exit the locked state and printing should resume normally.

Warnings

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