Canon MX454 Ink Absorber Full Reset
An absorber warning on Canon MX454 does not necessarily mean that the printer is mechanically damaged. The software counter and the physical pads must be considered separately.
What the Canon MX454 service message means
Canon MX454 uses a stored counter as a maintenance safeguard. Reaching the threshold can produce an Ink Absorber Full, Service Required or related support-code message.
Wic Reset Connect is designed to reset the compatible counter in Canon MX454. The physical waste ink system should still be inspected and maintained when necessary.
