Canon TS9050 Ink Absorber Full Reset
When Canon TS9050 reports that the ink absorber is full, turning it off and on will not normally remove the lock. The printer must be prepared correctly and its counter reset.
Before resetting Canon TS9050
Cleaning operations send unused ink into absorber pads inside the printer. Canon TS9050 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 TS9050. The physical waste ink system should still be inspected and maintained when necessary.
