1) Close the print head cover, and turn off the printer. While pressing the Resume/Cancel button, press the Power button. (Do not release the buttons. The LED lights in green to indicate that a function is selectable.)

The Ink absorber is for waste ink when the printer cleans the printheads. All printers have this pad. If you reset this ink counter without replacing the ink absorber pad the waste ink will eventually leak out of the printer!!!!
