Canon TS8151 Ink Absorber Full Reset
Canon TS8151 can stop printing when its internal ink absorber counter reaches a programmed threshold. Follow the model-specific preparation below before using Wic Reset Connect.
Understanding the Canon TS8151 ink absorber warning
Cleaning operations send unused ink into absorber pads inside the printer. Canon TS8151 estimates their usage with an electronic counter and can lock printing when that value reaches its limit.
Wic Reset Connect is designed to reset the compatible counter in Canon TS8151. The physical waste ink system should still be inspected and maintained when necessary.
