Model-specific reset guide
Canon TS8090 Ink Absorber Full Reset
If Canon TS8090 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.
Before resetting Canon TS8090
Cleaning operations send unused ink into absorber pads inside the printer. Canon TS8090 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 TS8090. The physical waste ink system should still be inspected and maintained when necessary.

- Terwijl u Stop/Reset ingedrukt houdt, houdt u Stroom.
