Canon mx310 printer has ink absorbor full message and will not print. how do we fix this?
Hi

Do you shocked this morning just to find out that Your "Waste Ink Absorber Full" on your Canon Printer? This warning made your printer useless because It cannot printing your works.

You have no money for service or change the waste ink absorber on your Canon. I know it could be very expensive. Don't Worry... I have something that maybe can help your problem. Take it Easy, it's FREE.


Canon Printer Motherboard System, will count how much time you had printing or change the ink tanks. After a couple of times your Canon System (Motherboard on your Printer) will stop your Printer because Canon think you waste ink absorber is FULL. So you need to replace your waste ink absorber to the new one. And It's Expensive For Me. But there is a trick to reset the counter on your Canon printer motherboard;

Step 1: Manual for Service mode (1st method). Using manual way ( but not really effective ), because sometimes your canon will prompt the "Message" again. Here's the trick:
Unplug POWER Cable.
PRESS and HOLD the POWER Button (While Disconnected From The Power Cord).
Connect the POWER Cable (Still Holding The POWER Button).
PRESS The Resume / Stop Button 4 Times while holding the POWER Button.
You'll see the Blinking Led Color keep changing from Orange to Green everytime you press the Resume / Stop Button.
Then Release The POWER Button.
Your printer will turn ON (It should not blinking anymore).
Step 2 : Using Software Tools (Reccomended), It can make your printer Permanent not showing the "Messages" again. Just Download Canon Series Resetter. Here's the Link :

Message "wasted ink tank near full" on Canon Multipass F80
Inkjet printers have a fibrous pad inside them that collects the waste ink from cleaning the print head. Over time, this pad fills up with ink and can no longer hold any more. When this occurs, the printer indicates a "waste ink tank full" error.

Replacing the waste ink absorption pads is something an authorized canon service facility can take care of for you. Once they are replaced, it'll be functional again.

Canon BJC- 1000 LPT 1 printer. STATUS: the used ink tank is full. printer not performing.
HI,

Your printer has a built-in waste ink tank for the ink used during print head cleaning. As time goes by, the waste ink tank gradually fills. When the waste ink tank is nearly full, you should receive a "Waste ink warning" error when you print. Press the RESUME button on the printer to cancel the error so you can continue printing. Before the waste ink tank becomes completely full, have the waste ink tank replaced.
