Reset Canon IX7000 Waste Ink Counter Easily

Canon IX7000 Ink Absorber Full Reset

If your Canon IX7000 suddenly refuses to print and shows a maintenance or service warning, the ink absorber counter may have reached its limit.

During head cleaning, surplus ink is routed to internal absorber pads. Canon IX7000 monitors this via a counter and can lock printing at a threshold.

This page is prepared for Canon IX7000. Service mode instructions are shown only when a matching series procedure is known.

How the Error Appears

‘Ink Absorber Full’ / ‘Service Required’ message
Support/service code (varies by series)

Reset the Ink Absorber Counter

After service mode is enabled (if required), the waste ink counter can be reset using a supported reset procedure/software.

Maintenance Reminder

If absorber pads are truly saturated, ignoring maintenance can lead to ink leakage inside the printer. The counter reset only removes the software lock.
