MB2060 Printer Reset – Ink Absorber Counter Explained

Canon MB2060 Ink Absorber Full Reset

The “Ink Absorber Full” / service required message on Canon MB2060 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 MB2060 monitors this via a counter and can lock printing at a threshold.

This page is prepared for Canon MB2060. Service mode instructions are shown only when a matching series procedure is known.

Typical Signs

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

Reset the Ink Absorber Counter

Once the counter is cleared, Canon MB2060 should exit the locked state and printing should resume normally.

Warnings

Resetting the counter does not physically clean the absorber pads. For heavy usage, pads may eventually need cleaning or replacement.
