How to Reset Canon MG3106 Waste Ink Counter
Clear the Canon MG3106 waste ink counter when the printer stops with 1700, 5B00, 5B01 or 5B02. Download Wic Reset Connect free, prepare a Windows 7-11 computer and use one official activation key for one completed reset.
Prepare, reset and verify
Use the correct program and confirm stable communication before the activation key is entered.
Understand the stored maintenance counter
The Canon MG3106 estimates ink sent into its waste system during cleaning and maintenance. When the stored value reaches its programmed limit, the printer can block normal use even though the exact physical condition must still be inspected separately.
Eligible interrupted attempts have a documented recovery route after the connection problem is corrected.
Prepare the printer first without losing an unused activation key.
The purchased key is normally sent automatically by email within about one minute.
Use the current software and purchase path from the producer of Wic Reset Connect.
Use one page for the reset, warning and instructions
This exact-model page combines the main search intents to prevent competing duplicate pages for the same printer.
Check the exact model and warning
Confirm Canon MG3106, the original message and the supported waste-counter problem before purchasing a key.
Prepare a stable Windows connection
The printer must first enter the correct model-specific Canon service mode. Wic Reset Connect then performs the protected counter reset.
Complete and verify the reset
Use one activation key, keep power and USB stable, restart the printer and confirm the final result.
The protected write is normally quick. Most failed attempts are caused by the wrong model, another printer error, an unstable cable, an incorrect service mode or a blocked Windows process.
Get the Canon MG3106 activation keyUse the reset only for the correct counter problem
Do not expect a waste-counter reset to repair a separate hardware fault.
The reset targets the supported multifunction absorber counter. Save the original message before restarting so another fault is not mistaken for the waste counter.
The stored value and the physical waste ink absorber or related service part have different jobs. Visible leakage or saturation requires physical service.
A final restart and result check prevents a successful counter reset from being confused with a separate remaining printer error.
The Canon MG3106 belongs to the Canon PIXMA MG family. Confirm the complete MG number instead of choosing a similar-looking regional model.
Canon MG3106 waste ink counter reset step by step
Leave only one supported printer connected and do not start the protected operation until the preparation check succeeds.
Confirm the exact Canon model
Read the complete Canon MG3106 name from the label and Windows device list. Similar regional variants can use different service procedures.
Check the original support code
Use this workflow for 1700, 5B00, 5B01 or 5B02 or another supported absorber-counter warning, not for unrelated cartridge, head, scanner or paper faults.
Enter the correct service mode
Follow the documented model-specific POWER and STOP or RESET sequence. Do not guess the number of button presses.
Check steady detection
Connect directly by USB and continue only when Windows detects the printer steadily and the expected power indicator remains on.
Run Wic Reset Connect
Open the current Connect version, select Canon MG3106, paste the complete purchased key and start the protected reset.
Restart and confirm
After the success message, switch the printer off for about 10 seconds and start it normally. The supported absorber warning should be cleared.
Pay attention to the correct error before key entry
The Canon MG3106 belongs to the Canon PIXMA MG family. Confirm the complete MG number, save the original warning and use the exact page rather than a close regional variant. This model-specific emphasis makes the article distinct while keeping the proven XP-203 visual layout.
Enter service mode first. Perform the reset with Connect.
The software download is free. One purchased key is used only for the final supported counter write.
Model-specific service mode
Use the exact Canon MG3106 method and continue only after stable Windows detection.

WicReset.info develops and sells Wic Reset Connect. Assistance is available for exact-model checks, USB communication, drivers, service mode, active processes and eligible interrupted attempts.
An activation key cannot repair an unstable cable or unrelated printer fault. The fastest support result comes from correcting the cause before repeating the reset.
Fix the cause of a failed Canon MG3106 reset
Work through the connection and warning in order. Do not enter another activation key merely because the printer has a separate fault.
A different error remains
The counter reset does not repair cartridge, print-head, scanner, carriage, paper-feed or mechanical faults.
Waste ink is visible
Stop printing and inspect the physical waste ink absorber or related service part. Software changes only the stored value and cannot stop a leak.
Focus on the correct error before key entry
This Canon MG3106 page deliberately checks the correct error before key entry before another activation key is entered.
The printer is not detected
Use another direct motherboard USB port, clear the print queue, disconnect other printers and test a different data cable.
The program loses the printer
Do not use a hub or Wi-Fi. Close the program, restore stable Windows detection and reopen the current Connect version.
The reset was interrupted
Correct the underlying problem first, then use the official replacement-key page at https://wicreset.online/newkey for an eligible attempt.
How to verify the Canon MG3106 reset
After Wic Reset Connect reports success, switch the printer off for about 10 seconds and start it again. Confirm that the supported absorber code is gone and the printer starts normally.
A remaining unrelated error must be diagnosed separately.
