Solution
Repairs are carried out in two steps:
1. Clean or replace the ink absorber
2. Reset the counter for waste ink
1. Clean or replace the ink absorber
There are two kinds of ink absorbers available for Canon’s iP7200 series. They are an ink absorber as well as an ink absorber platen. The platen ink absorber can be easily cleaned, as it is accessible (see image further below), while the main ink absorber can be found in the middle of the machine. To replace or clean, it has to be taken apart. The ink absorber of the Canon iP7200 series can be bought from the market using PN.QY5-0384-000. There are two major ink absorbers: the tower and the bottom (see the image below). How you can disassemble the printer to replace the primary ink absorber.
1. Take off the print head and cover. Remove the Print Head CDR tray (top), CDR tray assembly, the Paper tray assembly (bottom) and Power supply unit, and Panel cover Unit (left.)
2. The printer must be removed by removing the seven screws. Once the screws have been removed, lift the machine with care, and the ink absorber will show in the lower part of the machine.
3. Replace the primary ink absorber PN.QY5-0384-000 with a brand new one. If a replacement absorber is not on the market, the existing ink absorber can be reused after drying and cleaning.
You can assemble the printer when the ink absorption device is cleaned or replaced. Check that the printer’s assembly is done correctly and with care. After the printer is put together, it is time to set the counter for waste ink.
2. Reset the counter for waste ink

Check the values for (main ink absorber) and Ps (main ink absorber) and Ps (platen ink absorber). If D=100.0 signifies that the main counter for ink has reached its maximum and Ps=100.0, then Ps=100.0 indicates that the platen counter has reached its maximum value. The next step is to reset the D and Ps values.
- Transparent ink counter absorber: All (2) and click Set. Clear ink counter “All” means resetting the main waste ink counter as well as the platen waste counter simultaneously.
- When the counter for ink absorption is set to zero, you can print this EEPROM (1) information once the reset process has been completed. Examine the PS and D values. Examine the D and Ps values before as well as after the reset. If the values are D=000.0 and Ps=000.0, the primary ink absorber and the platen have been reset to zero.
- After you have reset your D as well as Ps value After resetting the values, close your Service Tool, turn off the printer, and wait around 15 seconds before turning the printer on again. Done.
