The waste ink absorber for this machine is on the bottom, the whole case is covered at the bottom with absorbent pads. The pads are cheap, but you need to access diagnostics to be able to reset the error code after they are changed.

Okay, follow these steps below to reset this message:

1) Enter SERVICE MODE. By pressing Menu-Copy-#
2) Select TEST MODE.
3) Select [8] PRINTER TEST in TEST MODE.
4) Select 3. [EEPROM CLEAR].
5) Select 0. [INK COUNT].
6) Press the [Stop/Reset] key (returning to the state of 3)), and then press the [ON/OFF] key.

Then call Canon 1-800-828-4040

Just inform them that you have already reset the counter so the error is gone, but you needed to know if there is a part that needs cleaned or replaced to prevent further problems.

ok

This works on the F30, F60, and F80.
Resetting the Waste Ink Volume Counter
1) Enter SERVICE MODE.---
By pressing Menu-Copy-#
2) Select TEST MODE.
3) Select [8] PRINTER TEST in TEST MODE.
4) Select 3. [EEPROM CLEAR].
5) Select 0. [INK COUNT].
6) Press the [OK] key.
7) Press the [Stop/Reset] key (returning to the state of 3)), and then press the [ON/OFF] key.

Skip step (6) since there is no [OK] key on F30 printers.
Please come back and just gave a vote, it will gave me some satisfaction to know am helping some one so I will keep on helping.
