Fix Ink Absorber Full Error on Canon MG5750

Canon MG5750 Ink Absorber Full Reset

If your Canon MG5750 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 MG5750. Service mode instructions are shown only when a matching series procedure is known.

How to Enter Service Mode on Canon MG5750

Some Canon series require entering service mode before the ink absorber counter can be reset.

Turn the printer OFF.
Press and hold Stop/Reset.
While holding Stop/Reset, press and hold Power.
Release Stop/Reset (keep holding Power).
Press Stop/Reset 6 times.
Release Power — the printer should enter service mode.

If it doesn’t work, repeat the sequence carefully. The press count depends on the series.

Reset the Ink Absorber Counter

Completing the reset clears the internal ink absorber counter stored in printer memory and restores normal operation.

Before You Continue

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