Canon IB4070 Ink Absorber Full Reset
Canon IB4070 can stop printing when its internal ink absorber counter reaches a programmed threshold. Follow the model-specific preparation below before using Wic Reset Connect.
What stops Canon IB4070 from printing

Wic Reset Connect is designed to reset the compatible counter in Canon IB4070. The physical waste ink system should still be inspected and maintained when necessary.
