Canon IB4090 Ink Absorber Full Reset
If Canon IB4090 displays an ink absorber full or service-required warning, the stored waste ink counter may have reached its limit. This guide covers service mode, USB preparation and the reset itself.
Understanding the Canon IB4090 ink absorber warning
An absorber message concerns both software and maintenance. The counter can be reset, while heavily saturated pads may still need cleaning or replacement.
Wic Reset Connect is designed to reset the compatible counter in Canon IB4090. The physical waste ink system should still be inspected and maintained when necessary.
