There are two possible reasons for an error ink absorber full. First, is the ink absorber pads is actually full of waste ink and needs cleaning. The second is to reset the
printer to clear the error and let the printer print again.
Clean the two absorber pads. Its
is actually two absorber pads located on the right side of the printer, under
the ink cartridges when it is in home base position.
How to access the
pads and remove it for cleaning?
Turn on the printer. Lift the top cover to
expose the ink cartridges. As soon as you lift up the cover the cartridge
carrier will move away from its home base.. Then the pads will be exposed. It
will be a dirty job so be prepared with your tweezer and extra cloth for some
ink spill. Using the tweezer, lift up the pads sitting on a rubber retainer.
The pads can be easily clean by placing it under a running water. Warm water
will be nice to remove the ink from the pads. After this, you can now return
the pads. However, the problem will not be solve especially if you are
currently facing the waste ink absorber full error.
