Canon MX876 Ink Absorber Full Reset
Canon MX876 may block print jobs after recording enough cleaning and maintenance cycles. Use the sequence below to enter service mode and reset the stored value.
Why Canon MX876 reports an absorber error
Cleaning operations send unused ink into absorber pads inside the printer. Canon MX876 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 MX876. The physical waste ink system should still be inspected and maintained when necessary.
