Canon XK50 Ink Absorber Full Reset
The waste ink system in Canon XK50 collects ink used during cleaning cycles. Once the estimated limit is reached, service mode and a compatible counter reset may be required.
Understanding the Canon XK50 ink absorber warning
The lock is based on accumulated maintenance activity. Resetting Canon XK50 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 XK50. The physical waste ink system should still be inspected and maintained when necessary.
