Canon MB5150 Ink Absorber Full Reset

The “Ink Absorber Full” / service required message on Canon MB5150 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 MB5150 monitors this via a counter and can lock printing at a threshold.

This page is prepared for Canon MB5150. Service mode instructions are shown only when a matching series procedure is known.

Finalize the Reset and Restore Printing

Completing the reset clears the internal ink absorber counter stored in printer memory and restores normal operation.

Important Notes

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