The Canon Service Tool V4720 is a service utility primarily designed to reset the waste ink counter, or "ink absorber," on Canon printers. In many Canon inkjet printers, there is an internal sponge known as the waste ink absorber that collects excess ink from cleaning cycles. When this counter reaches 100%, the printer typically stops functioning to prevent ink overflow, often displaying an error such as "5B00" or "Waste ink absorber is full." The Service Tool V4720 allows users to reset this counter back to 0%, allowing the printer to function again. Additionally, the tool can be used for other maintenance tasks like ink cartridge resets, EEPROM operations, destination settings, nozzle checks, and print tests.
