Canon MX348 Ink Absorber Full Reset
Canon MX348 can stop printing when its internal ink absorber counter reaches a programmed threshold. Follow the model-specific preparation below before using Wic Reset Connect.
What the Canon MX348 service message means
The absorber pads collect ink generated during print-head cleaning. Canon MX348 tracks those maintenance cycles in memory rather than measuring the pads directly.
Wic Reset Connect is designed to reset the compatible counter in Canon MX348. The physical waste ink system should still be inspected and maintained when necessary.
