Canon G6060 Printer Ink Absorber Full – How to Reset

Canon G6060 Ink Absorber Full Reset

The “Ink Absorber Full” / service required message on Canon G6060 is common after many cleaning cycles. In most cases, a counter reset restores printing.

During head cleaning, surplus ink is routed to internal absorber pads. Canon G6060 monitors this via a counter and can lock printing at a threshold.

This page is prepared for Canon G6060. Service mode instructions are shown only when a matching series procedure is known.

How to Enter Service Mode on Canon G6060

If your Canon G6060 supports service mode reset, follow the steps below before performing the counter reset.

  1. Turn the printer OFF.
  2. Press and hold Stop/Reset.
  3. While holding Stop/Reset, press and hold Power.
  4. Release Stop/Reset (keep holding Power).
  5. Press Stop/Reset 5 times.
  6. Release Power — the printer should enter service mode.

If it doesn’t work, repeat the sequence carefully. The press count depends on the series.

Perform the Waste Ink Counter Reset

After service mode is enabled (if required), the waste ink counter can be reset using a supported reset procedure/software.

Warnings

If absorber pads are truly saturated, ignoring maintenance can lead to ink leakage inside the printer. The counter reset only removes the software lock.
