E8 Waste ink absorber full, or platen waste ink absorber full
WHAT MUST DO?
I am told that this will reset your counter and eliminate the full absorber warning that you are getting.
Cleaning the pads is messy, sending the printer to Canon is expensive,
I used a simular reset code for my MP470 and haven't had any problems.
1. To clean physical pads:
Open cover (as if replacing ink cartridge).
Locate waste ink pads, they are far right under cartridge slider.
Pry up waste ink pads (inky, might want to wear gloves).
Rinse pads in sink or with alcohol, dry.
Replace pads. Make sure pads are fully seated.
2. To reset waste ink counter:
Press Menu-Scan-Copy-Scan to enter service menu.
Use arrow keys to scroll to "Service menu counter access".
Press OK.
Use arrow keys to scroll to "ABS-M DOT COUNT"
Press Copy.
Use arrow keys to reset count to zero.
Press OK.
Press Stop/Reset.
