MX347 Ink Absorber Full Reset – Step-by-Step Guide

Canon MX347 Ink Absorber Full Reset

The “Ink Absorber Full” / service required message on Canon MX347 is common after many cleaning cycles. In most cases, a counter reset restores printing.

Inside Canon printers, absorber pads collect excess ink from cleaning and maintenance cycles. The printer uses an internal counter to estimate pad saturation.

This page is prepared for Canon MX347. Service mode instructions are shown only when a matching series procedure is known.

Perform the Waste Ink Counter Reset

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

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.
