Canon iP2500 Ink Absorber Full Reset
An absorber warning on Canon iP2500 does not necessarily mean that the printer is mechanically damaged. The software counter and the physical pads must be considered separately.
The waste ink counter inside Canon iP2500
Waste ink is routed away from the print head and retained inside the printer. The firmware in Canon iP2500 calculates usage and may stop new jobs to reduce overflow risk.
Wic Reset Connect is designed to reset the compatible counter in Canon iP2500. The physical waste ink system should still be inspected and maintained when necessary.

Does the reset clean the ink absorber?
No. It resets the stored counter. Inspect, clean or replace the absorber pads when their physical condition requires maintenance.

Correct the cause first, then use the new-key generator or contact support for assistance.
Can I perform the reset over Wi-Fi?
No. Use a direct USB connection between the printer and a Windows computer.
