Canon MG5150 Ink Absorber Full Reset
Canon MG5150 can stop printing when its internal ink absorber counter reaches a programmed threshold. Follow the model-specific preparation below before using Wic Reset Connect.
Why Canon MG5150 reports an absorber error
Waste ink is routed away from the print head and retained inside the printer. The firmware in Canon MG5150 calculates usage and may stop new jobs to reduce overflow risk.
Wic Reset Connect is designed to reset the compatible counter in Canon MG5150. The physical waste ink system should still be inspected and maintained when necessary.
