Canon MB5150 Ink Absorber Full Reset
The waste ink system in Canon MB5150 collects ink used during cleaning cycles. Once the estimated limit is reached, service mode and a compatible counter reset may be required.
What the Canon MB5150 service message means
Cleaning operations send unused ink into absorber pads inside the printer. Canon MB5150 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 MB5150. The physical waste ink system should still be inspected and maintained when necessary.
