Canon TR4550 Ink Absorber Full Reset
When Canon TR4550 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 TR4550 reports an absorber error
Cleaning operations send unused ink into absorber pads inside the printer. Canon TR4550 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 TR4550. The physical waste ink system should still be inspected and maintained when necessary.
