Canon G1800 Ink Absorber Full Reset
The waste ink system in Canon G1800 collects ink used during cleaning cycles. Once the estimated limit is reached, service mode and a compatible counter reset may be required.
Why Canon G1800 reports an absorber error
Waste ink is routed away from the print head and retained inside the printer. The firmware in Canon G1800 calculates usage and may stop new jobs to reduce overflow risk.
Wic Reset Connect is designed to reset the compatible counter in Canon G1800. The physical waste ink system should still be inspected and maintained when necessary.
