Canon IX6800 Ink Absorber Full Reset

Canon IX6800 can lock printing when the waste ink (ink absorber) counter hits a predefined threshold. This guide explains how to reset it.

Inside Canon printers, absorber pads collect excess ink from cleaning and maintenance cycles. The printer uses an internal counter to estimate pad saturation.

This page is prepared for Canon IX6800. Service mode instructions are shown only when a matching series procedure is known.

Clear the Ink Absorber / Waste Ink Counter

Once the counter is cleared, Canon IX6800 should exit the locked state and printing should resume normally.
