Canon TS8630 Reset: What Codes 1700 and 5B00 Mean
Whatever language your printer displays, the exact support code helps identify the problem. Check whether your Canon TS8630 shows 1700 or 5B00 before starting a reset.
Warning / Approaching capacity
1700The absorber is almost full.
Canon allows the warning to be acknowledged with OK on the touch screen and advises arranging service. This is a warning stage, not proof that the absorber has been serviced.
Stop / Full condition
5B00The absorber is full.
The TS8630 manual identifies this as a full absorber condition and says printing cannot continue. Canon directs the owner to request service.
The model name matters
Use TS8630 guidance, not just “Canon TS”.
The Canon PIXUS TS8630 is included in the WIC Reset Connect supported list. Match that exact name to the printer label before choosing instructions or purchasing a key.
Keep all characters of the error code when asking for help. A screenshot of the message, in any language, helps support identify the displayed code.
A nearby model number does not confirm the same service-mode procedure. Do not borrow a button sequence simply because another printer has a similar touch screen.
From the message to a prepared printer
Your TS8630 reset plan.
WIC Reset Connect is used for the supported electronic counter operation. Start the reset only after the model, fault and printer preparation have been checked.
A / Establish the fault
Save the exact message.
Separate the almost-full warning from the full condition. Compare the displayed code with the TS8630 manual and consider Canon’s service advice.
B / Prepare the printer
Check service mode and connection.
Follow the connection and Canon service-mode instructions applicable to your TS8630 and the version of the program you use. If the exact-model procedure is unclear, ask support before entering service mode.
Then complete the supported software operation.
Open WIC Reset Connect
Use the download linked from our website. Have the prepared printer and your purchased key ready before starting the operation.
Paste the key into Token
Enter the complete key and select Reset. Keep the printer powered on and its connection stable while Connect reports the result.
Restart after success
Switch the printer off for ten seconds and turn it on again after a successful reset. Confirm that the original support code has cleared before resuming normal printing.
What a reset cannot do
Stored ink does not disappear.
The TS8630 manual explains that ink used during operations such as cleaning is absorbed by the waste ink absorber. When it becomes full, printing stops.
A software counter reset does not remove that ink. Canon says absorber replacement is not an owner-replacement task and advises requesting repair. Consider the physical service requirement alongside any software operation.
Questions, answered
Canon TS8630 reset questions
Is this guide for the Canon PIXUS TS8630?
Yes. It is written for the exact TS8630 model, which appears in our supported printer list. Check the model label rather than treating a different TS-series printer as interchangeable.
What does 5B00 mean in the TS8630 manual?
The Japanese TS8630 manual describes 5B00 as a full ink absorber and says printing cannot continue when the absorber is full. Canon instructs the owner to request service.
What is different about TS8630 support code 1700?
Canon describes 1700 as an absorber approaching full capacity. Its instructions allow you to acknowledge the warning using OK on the touch screen and advise arranging service. The warning and the full condition are not identical.
Can I use this guide if my printer displays another language?
Yes. Keep the exact support code and TS8630 model name; they remain useful regardless of the display language. Choose your preferred website language in the language switcher. Send a screenshot to support when the message or preparation is unclear.
Should I follow service-mode steps for another TS printer?
Do not choose a sequence only because another model has a similar name or display. Use the exact-model guidance, and have support confirm the method when your model is not explicitly identified.
Which program and connection should I use?
The key linked here is for WIC Reset Connect. Use the connection method supported for your TS8630 by the current program and follow the exact-model service-mode instructions. Enter the key in the Token field in Connect. Ask support if the connection method is unclear.
