Canon MX350 Ink Absorber Full Reset
When Canon MX350 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.
What the Canon MX350 service message means
Cleaning operations send unused ink into absorber pads inside the printer. Canon MX350 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 MX350. The physical waste ink system should still be inspected and maintained when necessary.
