The new practice now is when your ink absorber pads become full then you must return the printer to a Canon Service Agent, there is no way around it any more, if you can’t enter service mode yourself. It showed me the waste ink settings but would not let me reset the counter, although I had disconnected the feed tubes and re-routed them to an external bottle. Unless you’re able to enter service mode first, having the correct Service Tool won’t help in any way because this service tool only works on a printer that has entered the service mode condition. I spent hours online and eventually managed to download Canon Service Tool V4720.

When the Power LED lights in green, the machine is ready for the service mode operation (nothing is displayed on the LCD). (Each time the Stop button is pressed, the Alarm and Power LEDs light alternately, Alarm in orange and Power in green.)Ĥ. While holding the ON button, press the Stop button 5 times, and release the ON button. When the Power LED lights in green, while holding the ON button, release the Stop button. You may not be able to get into Service Mode on any of your printers, but you can still try by using this method.ġ With the machine power turned off, while pressing the Stop button/sensor, press and hold the ON button.
