Canon E200 Reset: Clear Error 5B00 or 1700
Restore printing on the Canon E200 when the waste ink absorber counter reaches its limit. Download Wic Reset Connect free, put the printer into the correct Canon service mode, connect it directly to Windows by USB and use one official activation key for the final reset.
Enter service mode, connect and reset
Prepare a Windows 7-11 computer, one working USB data cable and one Wic Reset Connect activation key.
Reset the internal waste ink counter and restore printing
The Canon E200 estimates how much ink enters its internal waste system during head cleaning and maintenance. When the stored value reaches its programmed limit, the printer can display support code 1700, 5B00, 5B01 or 5B02 and stop normal printing. Wic Reset Connect clears the supported electronic counter after the printer is placed in service mode and one valid activation key is entered.
Purchase the key and download the current software from the producer of Wic Reset Connect.
A documented recovery route is available when an eligible attempt is interrupted by a correctable connection or service-mode problem.
An unused key has no expiry date and can be saved until the E200 is correctly prepared.
The activation key is normally delivered automatically by email within about one minute.
Reset the E200 waste ink counter in three clear stages
Do not enter the activation key until the Canon E200 has entered the correct service mode and remains steadily detected through a direct USB connection.
Get the official reset key
Buy one Wic Reset Connect activation key for the Canon E200. A single key is intended for one completed counter reset on one supported printer.
Enter the correct service mode
Turn the printer off and use the documented Canon E-series button sequence. The green power light should remain continuously on before the reset begins.
Clear the stored counter
Connect the E200 directly by USB, open Wic Reset Connect, choose the detected printer, paste the purchased key and run the reset.
The guided reset normally takes about two minutes. Follow the official Canon video step by step. Support is available when service mode, a USB cable, driver or Windows process prevents detection.
Get the Canon E200 keyCheck that the problem is really the absorber counter
Use this procedure for a supported waste ink absorber or support-code warning. It does not repair a damaged print head, cartridge, scanner, paper-feed system or other mechanical fault.
The Canon E200 saves an estimated waste ink value internally. Cleaning or replacing the physical absorber does not automatically erase the electronic counter.
Wic Reset Connect can communicate with the protected service counter only after the printer has entered the correct Canon service mode.
If the green or orange indicator keeps blinking, another error or an incorrect mode may be active and must be corrected before using the key.
Do not continue printing if ink is leaking. Software changes the stored value only and cannot repair a saturated absorber, damaged tube or other physical part.
Canon E200 waste ink absorber reset: complete guide
Leave only one supported printer connected. Plug the Canon E200 directly into a motherboard USB port and do not use Wi-Fi, a hub, splitter or docking station during the service procedure.
Prepare the Canon E200
Remove pending print jobs, disconnect other printers and make sure no cartridge, print-head, scanner or paper-feed error is active.
Turn the printer off
Switch the Canon E200 off completely before starting the button sequence. If a previous attempt failed, disconnect power for about 10 seconds first.
Enter service mode
Hold STOP or RESET, press and hold POWER, release STOP while keeping POWER pressed, then press STOP five times and release POWER after a short wait.
Check the indicator light
The green power light should remain steadily on. A blinking light or another displayed error means the printer is not ready for the counter reset.
Open Wic Reset Connect
Connect the printer directly by USB, launch the current Wic Reset Connect version and select the detected Canon E200.
Paste the key and finish
Copy the complete activation key from the email, paste it into the program and keep the printer powered on and connected until completion.
Follow the correct service-mode and reset steps
The official Canon guide shows how to prepare the printer, enter service mode, connect the E200 by USB, select it in Wic Reset Connect, enter the activation key and complete the absorber-counter reset.
Enter Canon service mode. Perform the reset with Connect.

Canon service mode
Use the documented E-series five-press sequence. Continue only when the printer is detected and the green power light remains continuously on.

Download Wic Reset ConnectOfficial Canon E200 reset with support and guarantee
WicReset.info develops and sells Wic Reset Connect. The Canon E200 procedure is designed for normal users, with assistance available for service mode, detection, USB ports, cables and Windows communication problems.
The reset guarantee includes a documented recovery path for eligible interrupted attempts after the connection or service-mode problem has been corrected.
Make sure service mode and USB detection are correct
Use the activation key only after the printer has entered the correct service mode and remains steadily detected. If detection fails, check the button sequence, indicator light, cable, USB port, print queue and other connected printers.
The Canon E200 is not detected
Close the program, reconnect the printer to another direct motherboard USB port and repeat the correct E-series service-mode sequence. Test another USB data cable or another Windows computer if detection remains unstable.
The green or orange light keeps blinking
The printer is not ready for the waste-counter reset. Correct cartridge, print-head, paper, scanner or other active errors and repeat the correct service-mode procedure.
The printer entered a different programming mode
Turn it off completely, disconnect power for about 10 seconds and repeat the documented sequence. Pressing STOP or RESET the wrong number of times can open a different mode.
The reset stopped after the key was used
First correct the service-mode or communication problem. Then follow the official replacement-key procedure and repeat the reset with one printer connected directly by USB.
Error 5B00 remains after the program reports success
Switch the Canon E200 off, wait about 10 seconds and restart it. If another indicator pattern appears, identify the separate active fault before attempting another counter reset.
Waste ink is visible under or inside the printer
Stop using the printer and service the physical absorber, tubes or affected parts. Reset software changes only the stored counter and cannot stop a physical ink leak.
Restart the Canon E200 after a successful reset
When Wic Reset Connect reports completion, switch the Canon E200 off, wait approximately 10 seconds and start it normally. The 1700 or 5B00 waste-ink warning should be cleared when the protected counter reset has completed correctly.
If a different error remains, diagnose it separately rather than using another activation key.
