Canon XK60 Ink Absorber Full Reset
An absorber warning on Canon XK60 does not necessarily mean that the printer is mechanically damaged. The software counter and the physical pads must be considered separately.
The waste ink counter inside Canon XK60
Waste ink is routed away from the print head and retained inside the printer. The firmware in Canon XK60 calculates usage and may stop new jobs to reduce overflow risk.
Wic Reset Connect is designed to reset the compatible counter in Canon XK60. The physical waste ink system should still be inspected and maintained when necessary.
Enter service mode on Canon XK60

Reset the counter in Canon XK60
