Canon Service Mode with 3 STOP Button Presses
Canon service mode is not one universal button combination. This page isolates three STOP or RESET presses for i70, i80, Pixus 50i, Pixus 80i, Pixma iP90 and separates the button sequence from the later waste-counter reset.
Three Stop Or Reset Presses
Three-press service mode is uncommon and mainly applies to compact legacy Canon printers. It should not be copied to current E, G, TR or TS devices.

The number of STOP, RESET, Cancel or touchscreen presses is not a decorative detail. It selects a printer mode. The correct sequence must be completed before Wic Reset Connect can access the supported waste-ink counter.
The official page separates this small group under its own three-press heading.
Service-mode detection and the protected reset should not use Wi-Fi or a hub.
The activation key is entered only after the printer stays visible in Wic Reset Connect.
Three stop or reset presses is the defining sequence for this page.
Printers covered by this service-mode profile
Use the complete printer label, not only the first family letters. Regional suffixes and touchscreen layouts can change the correct controls.

Check Wic Reset Connect supportComplete the service-mode sequence slowly
Keep POWER held through the press count. Pause briefly after the final press so the printer can register the selected mode.

Step 3
Hold POWER as the printer starts.
Step 4
Release STOP or RESET.

Service mode is used for a supported counter reset
Use the workflow for supported waste-ink messages such as 1700, 5B00, 5B01 or 5B02. Cartridge, print-head, scanner, paper-feed and mechanical errors need separate diagnosis.
A nearby model can use a different number of presses.
HOME, Resume or Cancel may be an invisible screen area during startup.
Never use an activation key to test whether service mode worked.
Software cannot stop a real ink leak or repair a saturated part.
Why the printer does not enter the expected mode
Most failed attempts come from a wrong count, an early POWER release, a misidentified touchscreen area or unstable USB detection.
Assuming every old iP model uses two presses
Stop, power the printer off completely and repeat the exact documented sequence. Confirm stable USB detection before continuing.
Pressing too quickly for the printer to register the count
Stop, power the printer off completely and repeat the exact documented sequence. Confirm stable USB detection before continuing.
Connecting through a USB hub
Stop, power the printer off completely and repeat the exact documented sequence. Confirm stable USB detection before continuing.
Continuing when Windows does not enumerate the printer
Stop, power the printer off completely and repeat the exact documented sequence. Confirm stable USB detection before continuing.
Service mode first, Wic Reset Connect second
After the printer enters the correct mode, connect it directly to Windows, select the detected model in Wic Reset Connect and paste one purchased activation key. Keep POWER and USB stable until the final program message.
Use the key only after stable service-mode detection
Windows should keep the Canon device visible and the power indicator should remain stable. Alternating green and orange lights normally point to another active error or an incorrect mode.
Canon Service Mode with 3 STOP Button Presses FAQ
Which Canon printers use three STOP or RESET presses?
This page covers i70, i80, Pixus 50i, Pixus 80i, Pixma iP90. Always compare the complete model with the current service-mode table before pressing buttons.
Quand faut-il brancher le câble USB ?
Utilisez une connexion directe et attendez que Windows détecte le périphérique de service avant d'ouvrir Wic Reset Connect.
Le mode service réinitialise-t-il automatiquement le compteur de déchets ?
Non. Le mode « Service » sert uniquement à préparer l'imprimante. C'est l'application « Wic Reset Connect » et une clé d'activation qui permettent de réinitialiser les compteurs pris en charge.
Comment puis-je savoir si le nombre de pressions a bien été enregistré ?
L'imprimante devrait cesser de démarrer normalement, continuer à être détectée par Windows et afficher le voyant de fonctionnement stable attendu, plutôt qu'un motif d'erreur alterné.
Puis-je répéter la séquence de boutons ?
Oui, mais commencez par éteindre complètement l'imprimante et attendez quelques secondes. Ne répétez pas l'opération tant que l'imprimante est encore dans un autre mode.
Puis-je utiliser le Wi-Fi ?
Non. Utilisez une connexion USB directe pour la détection du mode service et la réinitialisation protégée.
Et si l'imprimante était équipée d'un écran tactile ?
Utilisez la zone d'écran indiquée dans la documentation qui correspond aux boutons « Accueil », « Reprendre » ou « Annuler ». Même si l'écran est sombre, la zone tactile peut rester active.
Pourquoi ne devrais-je pas estimer qu'il faut entre cinq et six pressions ?
Le compteur permet de sélectionner un mode. Un compteur incorrect peut déclencher une autre fonction de maintenance ou rendre l'imprimante indisponible pour la connexion.
Quelles sont les erreurs généralement liées à la réinitialisation ?
Les messages d'alerte liés aux résidus d'encre Canon pris en charge sont les suivants : 1700, 5B00, 5B01 et 5B02. Les autres dysfonctionnements doivent faire l'objet d'un diagnostic distinct.
Does the software repair a full absorber?
No. It changes the supported electronic counter. A saturated or leaking absorber still needs physical service.
Does an unused key expire while I prepare service mode?
Non. Une clé non utilisée n'a pas de date d'expiration avant son utilisation.
Where is the current Canon service-mode reference?
Use the official page at https://wicresetconnect.com/en/canon-service-mode/ and confirm the exact model group.
Confirm the method, connect by USB and reset once
Use the official service-mode table, verify stable detection and then complete the supported waste-counter reset with Wic Reset Connect and one activation key.
