Canon MP568 Ink Absorber Full Reset
When Canon MP568 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 MP568 reports an absorber error
The absorber pads collect ink generated during print-head cleaning. Canon MP568 tracks those maintenance cycles in memory rather than measuring the pads directly.
Wic Reset Connect is designed to reset the compatible counter in Canon MP568. The physical waste ink system should still be inspected and maintained when necessary.
