Canon MB2300 Reset Ink Absorber – Complete Tutorial

Canon MB2300 Ink Absorber Full Reset

If your Canon MB2300 suddenly refuses to print and shows a maintenance or service warning, the ink absorber counter may have reached its limit.

Ink absorber pads store waste ink during normal operation. Canon firmware tracks this using a software counter and may stop printing when it reaches the limit.

This page is prepared for Canon MB2300. Service mode instructions are shown only when a matching series procedure is known.

Perform the Waste Ink Counter Reset

Once the counter is cleared, Canon MB2300 should exit the locked state and printing should resume normally.

Warnings

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