hi,
I've here this printer that is "locked" because Ink Absorber waste ink Counter is full so when I power on it give a sequence of 7 blinking orange LED in sequence with green power ON led.
Reading a lot over Internet it seem that is an "use&trash" model so there isn't a way to reset manually this counter and also seems that it is not possible to enter in Service Mode status to reset with Canon Service Tool utility.
This is really suck because I cleaned already the printer and bought both new cartridges!!!
Working around for a while I finally found out the way to enter Service Mode. - start sequence from printer off
- push resume button and keeping it pressed, push ON button.
- keeping ON button pressed release resume button so you have:
green ON LED on - orange error LED off
- press 4 times resume button that give you this sequence LED pattern:
1 press: green ON LED off - orange error LED on
2 press: green ON LED on - orange error LED off
3 press: green ON LED off - orange error LED on
4 press: green ON LED on - orange error LED off
Next the 4th press release both resume and on buttons.
You will hear print carriage move, power ON led blinking and finally power ON LED solid green on (orange error LED off)
If I connect the printer via USB to PC and next start the Canon Service Utility v.5103 released in 2017 (so I think that its compatible with this printer release in July 2016) this one is recognised as screenshot attached but everything I press it give me error006
I think that the BIOS has a lock / protection that doesn't allow use this software even if printer is recognised.
I attach here the original BIOS file that has been to be dumped so to change the Counter Value(%) of INK absorber from 100 (I suppose its 100) to 0.
On ASCII code there is some reference on 1EAC00.
For further infos I found some examples as this value is written on other Canon printer when with ST you print EEPROM info:
Canon iP3000 >>> D=020.1 Ps=001.0
Canon MP460 >>> D=008.0 Ps=000.0
Canon iX5000 >>> D=004.5
I think that this printer has just D (Main) value.
