Canon TS8050 Ink Absorber Full Reset
An absorber warning on Canon TS8050 does not necessarily mean that the printer is mechanically damaged. The software counter and the physical pads must be considered separately.
The waste ink counter inside Canon TS8050
Cleaning operations send unused ink into absorber pads inside the printer. Canon TS8050 estimates their usage with an electronic counter and can lock printing when that value reaches its limit.
Wic Reset Connect is designed to reset the compatible counter in Canon TS8050. The physical waste ink system should still be inspected and maintained when necessary.

- 在按住停止/复位的同时，按住 电源.
