Réinitialisation complète de l'absorbeur d'encre Canon TS5150
If Canon TS5150 displays an ink absorber full or service-required warning, the stored waste ink counter may have reached its limit. This guide covers service mode, USB preparation and the reset itself.
What stops Canon TS5150 from printing

Wic Reset Connect is designed to reset the compatible counter in Canon TS5150. The physical waste ink system should still be inspected and maintained when necessary.
