FAQs
Is this a genuine Canon part?
Yes, the Qy5-0384-000 is a genuine OEM replacement part designed by Canon.
Will replacing the pads reset the error message automatically?
No, you usually need to perform a software reset of the waste ink counter using a service tool after physical installation.
How often should the absorber be replaced?
It depends on your print volume and the frequency of your cleaning cycles; the printer will alert you when it reaches its capacity limit.
Can I wash and reuse the old pads instead of buying a kit?
It is not recommended. Once the fibers are saturated, they lose their absorption efficiency and may cause ink to leak onto internal circuitry.
What happens if I ignore the error message?
The printer will stop functioning entirely to prevent ink from leaking onto your desk or causing a short circuit inside the printer.
Troubleshooting
Printer still shows 'Absorber Full' error after replacement
You must use the Canon Service Tool software or a button combination to reset the internal ink counter in the printer's memory.
Difficulty accessing the absorber compartment
Consult your specific printer model's service manual to ensure all chassis screws and plastic clips are released properly.
Ink staining surfaces during replacement
Lay down protective newspaper or a drop cloth underneath the printer during the entire maintenance process.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Genuine OEM part ensures perfect compatibility
- Prevents messy ink leaks inside the printer
- Restores printer functionality after waste ink errors
- Maintains manufacturer performance standards
Cons
- Installation requires partial printer disassembly
- May require a software service tool to reset internal counters
- Specific to certain Canon printer models

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before installing, ensure the printer is completely powered off and disconnected from the power source. Use a soft, lint-free cloth to clean any existing ink residue from the housing while the old absorber is removed. Wear gloves, as the waste ink residue can be difficult to remove from skin. After physical replacement, ensure all printer panels are securely snapped back into place. Note that physical replacement of the pads does not reset the printer's internal waste ink counter; you may need to access your printer's Service Mode to clear the error code in the system firmware.
