Canon iP5880 Ink Absorber Full Reset
When Canon iP5880 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.
Before resetting Canon iP5880
Waste ink is routed away from the print head and retained inside the printer. The firmware in Canon iP5880 calculates usage and may stop new jobs to reduce overflow risk.
Wic Reset Connect is designed to reset the compatible counter in Canon iP5880. The physical waste ink system should still be inspected and maintained when necessary.
