MP190 Printer Reset – Ink Absorber Counter Explained

Canon MP190 Ink Absorber Full Reset

When Canon MP190 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 MP190 monitors this via a counter and can lock printing at a threshold.

This page is prepared for Canon MP190. Service mode instructions are shown only when a matching series procedure is known.

Reset the Ink Absorber Counter

After service mode is enabled (if required), the waste ink counter can be reset using a supported reset procedure/software.

Maintenance Reminder

Treat the reset as a maintenance step. If your printer has extremely high usage, consider cleaning/replacing absorber pads to avoid overflow.
