Finalize the Reset and Restore Printing

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

Use a reliable USB connection and follow the steps in order.

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.

Does every Canon model need service mode?

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

How long does it take?

Usually a few minutes once the correct steps are followed.

Does reset clean the absorber pads?

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