Canon G5090 Ink Absorber Full Reset
An absorber warning on Canon G5090 does not necessarily mean that the printer is mechanically damaged. The software counter and the physical pads must be considered separately.
What the Canon G5090 service message means
Waste ink is routed away from the print head and retained inside the printer. The firmware in Canon G5090 calculates usage and may stop new jobs to reduce overflow risk.
Wic Reset Connect is designed to reset the compatible counter in Canon G5090. The physical waste ink system should still be inspected and maintained when necessary.
