Canon iP2200 Printer Ink Absorber Full – How to Reset

Canon iP2200 Ink Absorber Full Reset

When Canon iP2200 triggers an ink absorber full condition, the printer may block printing as a protective measure. The solution is typically a waste ink counter reset.

During head cleaning, surplus ink is routed to internal absorber pads. Canon iP2200 monitors this via a counter and can lock printing at a threshold.

This page is prepared for Canon iP2200. Service mode instructions are shown only when a matching series procedure is known.

Perform the Waste Ink Counter Reset

Maintenance Reminder

Resetting the counter does not physically clean the absorber pads. For heavy usage, pads may eventually need cleaning or replacement.
