Canon G4911 Ink Absorber Full Reset
An absorber warning on Canon G4911 does not necessarily mean that the printer is mechanically damaged. The software counter and the physical pads must be considered separately.
Why Canon G4911 reports an absorber error
The lock is based on accumulated maintenance activity. Resetting Canon G4911 changes the counter value but does not remove ink already held in the absorber material.
Wic Reset Connect is designed to reset the compatible counter in Canon G4911. The physical waste ink system should still be inspected and maintained when necessary.
