Canon IX6540 Ink Absorber Full Reset
If Canon IX6540 displays an ink absorber full or service-required warning, the stored waste ink counter may have reached its limit. This guide covers service mode, USB preparation and the reset itself.
Understanding the Canon IX6540 ink absorber warning
The lock is based on accumulated maintenance activity. Resetting Canon IX6540 changes the counter value but does not remove ink already held in the absorber material.
Wic Reset Connect is designed to reset the compatible counter in Canon IX6540. The physical waste ink system should still be inspected and maintained when necessary.
