Canon G3810 Ink Absorber Full Reset
When Canon G3810 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.
Why Canon G3810 reports an absorber error
The absorber pads collect ink generated during print-head cleaning. Canon G3810 tracks those maintenance cycles in memory rather than measuring the pads directly.
