Working on a canon Pixma Ip6700d printer. When I plug in the printer the alarm light stays on? The absorber kit was just replace the other day.

SOURCE: Waste Ink Absorber is full In Canon Pixma IP3300

my printer say, "the ink absorber is full".

SOURCE: Canon iP6700D error 6A00

6A00 is a purge assembly error, thats the cleaning unit on the right where the printhead parks. Look on the right with a flashlight and see if there's paper, or anything that doesn't belong. If the wipers are jammed into the pad assembly, you will need a new purge unit, best changed by a shop.

SOURCE: Ink absorber

A special service software program is needed to reset the internal counter for the ink absorber.
