Canon iP7270 Ink Absorber Full Reset
When Canon iP7270 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.
What the Canon iP7270 service message means
The absorber pads collect ink generated during print-head cleaning. Canon iP7270 tracks those maintenance cycles in memory rather than measuring the pads directly.
Wic Reset Connect is designed to reset the compatible counter in Canon iP7270. The physical waste ink system should still be inspected and maintained when necessary.
