Canon MP620 Printer Ink Absorber Full – How to Reset

Canon MP620 Ink Absorber Full Reset

Canon MP620 can lock printing when the waste ink (ink absorber) counter hits a predefined threshold. This guide explains how to reset it.

During head cleaning, surplus ink is routed to internal absorber pads. Canon MP620 monitors this via a counter and can lock printing at a threshold.

This page is prepared for Canon MP620. Service mode instructions are shown only when a matching series procedure is known.

Clear the Ink Absorber / Waste Ink Counter

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

Treat the reset as a maintenance step. If your printer has extremely high usage, consider cleaning/replacing absorber pads to avoid overflow.

If your model does not show a service mode section, it means no matching procedure was found for its series.

Does every Canon model need service mode?

No. The generator shows service mode steps only when the series procedure is known.

Does reset clean the absorber pads?

No. It resets the counter (software). Pads may still require physical maintenance in high-usage cases.

How long does it take?

Usually a few minutes once the correct steps are followed.

How many times should I press Stop/Reset?

It depends on the series. Many use 5 presses; PRO/imagePROGRAF/MG use 6 in this generator.
