Canon MP210 Printer Ink Absorber Full: How to Fix Error Code E27

The Canon Pixma MP210 is a popular all-in-one printer that offers high-quality printing, scanning, and copying capabilities. However, like any other printer, it can encounter errors from time to time. One common error that users encounter with the MP210 is the 'Ink Absorber Full' error, which is indicated by an E27 code on the printer's display screen.

The ink absorber full error occurs when the printer's waste ink absorber pads become full of waste ink. This can happen due to various reasons such as frequent printing or clogging of the printhead. When this error occurs, you will not be able to print until it is resolved.

To fix the ink absorber full error on your Canon Pixma MP210, there are two possible ways to remove the error from your printer.

Method 1: Clean the Absorber Pads

The first method involves cleaning the absorber pads that are full of waste ink. To do this, you need to access the absorber pads and remove them for cleaning. Here's how:

1. Lift up the top cover of your printer to expose the ink cartridges.

2. Locate the two absorber pads on the right side of the printer, under the ink cartridges when the carrier is in the home position.

3. Use tweezers to lift up the pads sitting on the rubber retainer.

4. Place the pads under running water to remove the ink from them. You can also use warm water to help loosen the ink.

5. Use a clean cloth to wipe off any remaining ink from the pads.

Method 2: Reset the Printer

The second method involves resetting the printer to clear the error and let the printer print again. Here's how:

1. Press the 'Resume' button on your printer four times, then press the 'Power' button to confirm the selected action (reset counter absorber).

2. Without releasing the Power Button, double-click the 'Resume' button and then release both buttons.

3. Hold the Power button while releasing the Resume button.

4. Press and hold the Resume button (triangle in the circle) and click the 'Power' button.

By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the ink absorber full error on your Canon Pixma MP210 printer. However, if the problem persists, it may be necessary to replace the waste ink absorber pads or seek further assistance from a professional repair service.
