Canon TS5360 Ink Absorber Full Reset

Canon TS5360 can lock printing when the waste ink (ink absorber) counter hits a predefined threshold. This guide explains how to reset it.

During head cleaning, surplus ink is routed to internal absorber pads. Canon TS5360 monitors this via a counter and can lock printing at a threshold.

This page is prepared for Canon TS5360. Service mode instructions are shown only when a matching series procedure is known.

How the Error Appears

Some Canon series require entering service mode before the ink absorber counter can be reset.

If it doesn’t work, repeat the sequence carefully. The press count depends on the series.

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

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

For best results, avoid rushing button presses—consistent timing matters.

Does reset clean the absorber pads?

No. It resets the counter (software). Pads may still require physical maintenance in high-usage cases.

How many times should I press Stop/Reset?

It depends on the series. Many use 5 presses; PRO/imagePROGRAF/MG use 6 in this generator.

Does every Canon model need service mode?

No. The generator shows service mode steps only when the series procedure is known.

How long does it take?

Usually a few minutes once the correct steps are followed.
