Cause Action
The ink absorber is almost full. The printer has a built-in ink absorber to hold the ink used during Print Head
Cleaning, for example.
This error message indicates that the ink absorber is nearly full.
Press the RESUME/CANCEL button to cancel the error so you can continue
printing.
Before the ink absorber becomes completely full, contact a Canon service
representative. (You will need to replace a particular part of the printer.)
Important
Canon recommends that you call for service as soon as this error occurs. Once
the ink absorber becomes completely full, printing cannot be performed until the
ink absorber is replaced.
