The Canon Service Tool ST6000 is an incredibly effective asset for extending the lifespan of your Pixma or Maxify printer. By resetting the 5B00 waste ink counter yourself, you save time and maintenance costs. Always remember to download from verified communities, keep your printer connected strictly via USB, and physically inspect or clean your waste ink pads if you reset the counter multiple times to prevent actual ink overflow.

Reads and writes EEPROM data, which is useful for checking printer history and serial numbers. Maintenance Functions:
Resetting the software counter stops the error code, but .
When a printer prints, a small amount of ink is used to clean the printheads. This waste ink drains into physical foam pads inside the machine. Canon printers use an internal counter to estimate when these pads are saturated. Once the counter hits 100%, the printer locks down to prevent ink leakage, displaying error codes like , 1700 , or P07 .
The Canon Service Tool ST6000 is a proprietary software utility designed for use with specific series of Canon inkjet printers, most notably various models within the PIXMA line. Unlike standard driver software, which facilitates communication between the computer and the printer for everyday tasks, the Service Tool enters the printer’s "Service Mode." Once accessed, the software allows a technician to perform low-level maintenance operations. These functions include resetting the ink absorber counter (crucial after cleaning or replacing waste ink pads), initializing the EEPROM (the printer's memory), checking the model number, and performing nozzle checks or cleaning cycles that are more in-depth than those available to the end-user. For a printer that has halted due to a "waste ink absorber full" error, the ST6000 is often the only software solution to reset the counter and resume printing.
