Description

The waste ink absorber is a part built into the printer that absorbs ink during borderless printing and maintenance operations. Over time, this piece will absorb more and more ink. Eventually, it will become full and the printer will be inoperable.

Solution

If you receive a message on your printer (such as 5B00) or computer indicating that the printer's waste ink absorber is full, the printer will require replacement.
