The absorbers can be washed with lots of warm, not hot water. So it is strongly recommended to wash or replace the ink absorbers. Some say you can leave the absorbers in place after a reset if you only do it once, others say you risk a very nasty ink spill when the absorbers overflow. Having more printers connected to the computer can prevent the service tool from working even if the other printers are turned off!Īpart from a slightly different procedure for entering service mode, the procedure for absorber reset in this post is also valid for your printer. Only the printer you want to perform service mode operations on must be connected to the computer. The service tool only works with a USB connection, wireless cannot be used even if the printer might have this capability. If the belt feels dry, gently apply a very small amount of white grease to it using a Q-tip. Notice that the service tool only works with Windows (all versions since XP). This belt is located directly behind the cartridge carriage, so remove the carriage and use a flashlight to check on the belt, make sure that the belt is in place and has not slipped off its wheels on either end of the printer and does not need any lubricant. so I have edited it slightly to make it more clear: Terrible design to ensure that you use Canon replacement parts, even with actual Canon parts, it does not work. I cannot even use the other functions of the printer, Scan, Fax. It is the print head that came with the unit never changed.

rar archive attached to this post by procedure for entering service mode is not quite clear in the service manual. I too have am experiencing the same issue with the MX712 model. I guess you have got a warning or error message about the ink absorbers getting or being full of ink? Then you will need to reset the ink absorber counter, for which you will need a service tool.

They are position 16 on page B-13 in the parts catalog section of your service manual and the parts number is QY5-0257-000. The ink absorber pads are some pads of a felt like material that is placed at the bottom of the printer case. Only a complete purge unit might be available.Ĭleaning the nozzles might not work without it and a small hard piece of plastic could block some moving parts in the printer and cause mechanical damage, so the purge pad must be found and reinstalled in its proper place on the ourge unit. Purge pads are not sold separately, so they have no parts number. The first image in this post shows two purge pads and the rubber gasket for holding them. Its purpose is to assist in nozzle cleaning by distributing vacuum evenly over the nozzles. What you dropped into the machine is not an ink absorber pad but a purge pad, which is part of the purge unit.
