Canon iP7240 Ink Absorber Full Reset
An absorber warning on Canon iP7240 does not necessarily mean that the printer is mechanically damaged. The software counter and the physical pads must be considered separately.
What stops Canon iP7240 from printing
The lock is based on accumulated maintenance activity. Resetting Canon iP7240 changes the counter value but does not remove ink already held in the absorber material.
Wic Reset Connect is designed to reset the compatible counter in Canon iP7240. The physical waste ink system should still be inspected and maintained when necessary.
