Introduction
The Canon L130 printer is a popular choice among home and small office users. However, it is important to keep in mind that the printer's ink cartridges have a limited lifespan and eventually need replacement. Over time, the printer's internal ink pad can accumulate excess ink and lead to various issues including print quality deterioration. In this guide, we will show you how to reset your Canon L130 printer's waste ink counter and clear out the excess ink that has collected within the printer's internal ink pad.
What is the waste ink counter?
The waste ink counter is a mechanism within the Canon L130 printer that monitors the amount of ink the printer consumes during its lifetime. The counter keeps track of the ink used during head cleanings, printing, and other maintenance tasks. Once the counter reaches a certain level, the printer will stop printing and display an error message indicating that the waste ink counter is full, and the printer needs to be serviced.
What causes the waste ink counter to fill up?
The waste ink counter fills up over time as the printer consumes ink during cleaning cycles, printing, and other maintenance tasks. If the waste ink counter is not reset, the printer will stop functioning, and you'll need to take it in for service. However, you can reset the waste ink counter yourself by following the steps below.
