Canon MX320 Ink Absorber Full Reset
The “Ink Absorber Full” / service required message on Canon MX320 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 MX320 monitors this via a counter and can lock printing at a threshold.
This page is prepared for Canon MX320. 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.
Warnings
Resetting the counter does not physically clean the absorber pads. For heavy usage, pads may eventually need cleaning or replacement.
