Canon iP4760 Ink Absorber Full Reset

The “Ink Absorber Full” / service required message on Canon iP4760 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 iP4760 monitors this via a counter and can lock printing at a threshold.

This page is prepared for Canon iP4760. Service mode instructions are shown only when a matching series procedure is known.

What You May Notice

  • Service / maintenance warning on the screen or driver
  • Printer refuses to print even with ink available
  • Blinking lights and queued jobs fail
  • Error reappears after restart

Perform the Waste Ink Counter Reset

Once the counter is cleared, Canon iP4760 should exit the locked state and printing should resume normally.

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.
