When Canon IB4110 triggers an ink absorber full condition, the printer may block printing as a protective measure. The solution is typically a waste ink counter reset.

During head cleaning, surplus ink is routed to internal absorber pads. Canon IB4110 monitors this via a counter and can lock printing at a threshold.

This page is prepared for Canon IB4110. Service mode instructions are shown only when a matching series procedure is known.

What You May Notice

• ‘Ink Absorber Full’ / ‘Service Required’ message
• Support/service code (varies by series)
• Printing blocked after cleaning cycles
• Reset required to continue printing

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.

Before You Continue

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

For best results, avoid rushing button presses—consistent timing matters.

Troubleshooting

• Power-cycle the printer and try again.
• Close other Canon printer utilities while resetting.
• Use the correct Stop/Reset press count for your series.
• Repeat the service mode steps carefully (timing matters).
• Try a different USB cable/port if using PC software.
