Sets the main and platen ink absorber counters to 0%.

The printer is not in Service Mode properly. Turn it off, wait 10 seconds, and retry the steps.

If you attempt to use an outdated or counterfeit version of the Service Tool on a newer Canon printer, the printer’s firmware may permanently lock up. When a mainboard is locked, it will refuse to enter Service Mode entirely, and the orange alarm light will blink constantly. The only fix for a locked board is replacing the physical EEPROM chip or buying a new mainboard. Remember the Physical Ink Pads canon+service+tool+v4718+updated
