Canon iP2702 Ink Absorber Full Reset
When Canon iP2702 reports that the ink absorber is full, turning it off and on will not normally remove the lock. The printer must be prepared correctly and its counter reset.
Why Canon iP2702 reports an absorber error
Cleaning operations send unused ink into absorber pads inside the printer. Canon iP2702 estimates their usage with an electronic counter and can lock printing when that value reaches its limit.
Wic Reset Connect is designed to reset the compatible counter in Canon iP2702. The physical waste ink system should still be inspected and maintained when necessary.
