Canon G3600 Ink Absorber Full Reset
Canon G3600 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 G3600 reports an absorber error
Waste ink is routed away from the print head and retained inside the printer. The firmware in Canon G3600 calculates usage and may stop new jobs to reduce overflow risk.
