Canon G6050 Ink Absorber Full Reset
An absorber warning on Canon G6050 does not necessarily mean that the printer is mechanically damaged. The software counter and the physical pads must be considered separately.
Why Canon G6050 reports an absorber error
Waste ink is routed away from the print head and retained inside the printer. The firmware in Canon G6050 calculates usage and may stop new jobs to reduce overflow risk.
Wic Reset Connect is designed to reset the compatible counter in Canon G6050. The physical waste ink system should still be inspected and maintained when necessary.
