Canon IX6770 Ink Absorber Full Reset
When Canon IX6770 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.
What stops Canon IX6770 from printing
Waste ink is routed away from the print head and retained inside the printer. The firmware in Canon IX6770 calculates usage and may stop new jobs to reduce overflow risk.
Wic Reset Connect is designed to reset the compatible counter in Canon IX6770. The physical waste ink system should still be inspected and maintained when necessary.
