Canon MB2120 Ink Absorber Full Reset
When Canon MB2120 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.

An absorber message concerns both software and maintenance. The counter can be reset, while heavily saturated pads may still need cleaning or replacement.
Wic Reset Connect is designed to reset the compatible counter in Canon MB2120. The physical waste ink system should still be inspected and maintained when necessary.
