When a Canon printer cleans its print heads, the excess ink is deposited into a waste ink absorber pad. To prevent overflow, the printer counts these cleaning cycles. Once the counter hits a pre-set limit, the printer stops working to prevent physical damage. Service Tool v6310 resets this counter to zero, allowing the printer to function again.
Note: Newer models often require newer versions of the service tool (e.g., v5103, v5204, or v7500).
| Feature | Benefit | |---------|---------| | | Resets the “waste ink absorber full” error (commonly error 5B00 / 5B01), extending printer life without replacing pads immediately. | | EEPROM Operations | Read, write, or clear printer EEPROM data—useful for resetting specific counters or fixing corrupted settings. | | Ink Absorber Counter Reset (Main + Platen) | Full control over both pad counters to prevent shutdowns after prolonged use. | | Print Head Deep Cleaning | Forces a more aggressive cleaning cycle than normal driver utilities, useful for clogged nozzles. | | Ink Level Reset (for refilled carts) | Allows resetting of ink level detection after refilling OEM or compatible cartridges (model dependent). | | Region / Destination Setting | Can change printer destination (e.g., JP to EU), though risky—recommended only for matching service parts. | | Test Print Functions | Nozzle check, EEPROM info print, and service test patterns for diagnosing mechanical issues. | | Waste Ink Counter Reading | Check exact usage % before deciding to reset. | canon service tool v6310
