Canon iP4950 Ink Absorber Full Reset
Canon iP4950 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 iP4950 reports an absorber error
The lock is based on accumulated maintenance activity. Resetting Canon iP4950 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 iP4950. The physical waste ink system should still be inspected and maintained when necessary.
