Canon TS6240 Reset: From 5B00 to the Right Next Step
Looking for a Canon TS6240 reset after a 5B00 error or an absorber warning? Start with the code, prepare the printer and use the counter-reset procedure—not a network reset.
Name the problem
Is this a warning or a service error?
Canon includes the TS6240 in its TS6200-series online manual. Use that model-specific support-code guidance instead of a procedure selected only because it mentions “Canon reset”.

Canon allows you to select OK on the touch screen to continue printing and advises requesting service. Acknowledging the warning is not the same as clearing the waste ink counter.
Arrange the right diagnosis
The official manual directs you to a service center. Check that a supported counter reset is appropriate and that the printer can be prepared correctly before using software.
Choose the right operation
“Reset” can mean more than one thing.
Network setup
Useful when you are solving a connection problem. Do not treat it as the waste ink counter procedure.
Printer settings
Changing or restoring normal settings is a different task from a service-mode counter operation.

The working sequence
Five steps for a prepared TS6240.
Our supported printer list includes TS6240. Model support is the first check, not a reason to skip fault diagnosis or service-mode preparation.
Record the error and check support
Confirm the full TS6240 model name and record the complete support code. Use the compatibility list and the Canon instructions to check the intended reset operation.
Prepare USB communication
Connect the TS6240 directly to a Windows computer. Clear pending print jobs and close other software that may access the printer. Do not rely on the wireless printing connection.
Enter the correct Canon service mode
Follow the service-mode guidance for the exact model. Resolve other active printer errors first. If the expected service-mode state cannot be reached, ask support before using a key.
Use the key in WIC Reset Connect
Download and open Connect, paste your purchased key into Token and select Reset. Leave the power and USB connection undisturbed until the result is shown.
Restart and confirm the original fault is gone
After a successful reset, switch the printer off for ten seconds and turn it back on. Check the original error again and retain a screenshot of the result for your records.
Before returning to printing
Check more than the success message.
The software result confirms the reported reset operation; it does not establish that the physical absorber is clean. Consider its service history and arrange inspection or servicing where needed.
Do not keep running resets to bypass a persistent warning, visible waste ink or an unrelated mechanical problem.
Questions, answered
TS6240 questions before and after a reset
Why does Canon link the TS6240 to a TS6200-series manual?
The official TS6200-series online manual explicitly includes TS6240 among its model names. It is the relevant manual family for the support-code pages linked in this guide.
Is a TS6240 factory reset the same as a waste ink reset?
No. Do not use network or general settings reset as a substitute for the supported waste ink counter procedure. Identify the fault first and choose the operation intended for that fault.
What does the TS6240 manual say about code 1700?
Canon describes an almost-full ink absorber. The manual allows you to select OK on the touch screen to continue printing and advises contacting a service center. This acknowledgement is not absorber servicing.
Can I use the same Wi-Fi connection I use for printing?
For WIC Reset Connect, prepare a direct USB connection to a Windows computer. A functioning wireless print connection does not establish that the reset connection is ready.
Where do I paste my WIC Reset Connect key?
Paste the entire purchased key in the Token field in WIC Reset Connect after completing the Canon preparation and service-mode checks. Then follow the program instructions for Reset.
What if the TS6240 still shows the original error afterwards?
Keep the program result and the exact printer message. Contact support with your model, order number and screenshots before repeating the reset or purchasing another key.
Your next step
All checks complete?
Get your WIC Reset Connect key after the fault and service-mode preparation are confirmed. Keep the guide open during the operation.
Check the current price and currency in the store. A key is for one reset.
