Canon TS6260 · waste ink absorber reset

Looking for a Canon TS6260 resetter? Start with the printer status, not the activation key. The TS6260 must have no unrelated faults and must be recognized in the correct service mode before WICRESETPRO can perform the waste ink reset.

model-specific service modeWindows 10/11 x64Direct USB onlyOfficial WIC software

The download is free. a key allows same-printer reuse for 24 hours after the first reset and has no expiry date before use. Orders are normally delivered automatically by email in about one minute.

Quick diagnosis

Canon TS6260 reset in three controlled stages

1

Check the error

Confirm that the TS6260 shows a waste ink or absorber warning, not an unrelated mechanical or cartridge error.

2

Enter service mode

Use only a confirmed instruction for this exact model. Check the service-mode status above before preparing the printer.

3

Reset and restart

Run WICRESETPRO, keep USB stable, then switch the printer off when instructed by the procedure, then follow its restart instructions.

Before using a key: the printer must have no pending jobs or unrelated errors. Use one direct USB connection and leave only the target Canon TS6260 connected.

Understand the warning

Why Canon TS6260 shows errors 5B00–5B04 or 1700

The Canon TS-series home printer estimates how much waste ink has been collected during cleaning and maintenance. When the programmed limit is reached, the printer may display 1700 as an advance warning or stop with 5B00 and a waste ink absorber message. The reset clears that electronic counter; it does not fix an unrelated print-head, cartridge or power fault.

For this Canon model, WICRESETPRO performs the counter operation after service mode is accepted. Use the Pro key assigned to your order. Disconnect other Epson and Canon equipment, keep only the TS6260 attached and wait for a clear success message before restarting.

Official developer

Use the official WICRESETPRO download and a key intended for this workflow, with technical support available if the program returns an error.

Reset support

Keep the program message and order details if a valid attempt fails. A failed attempt can be reviewed instead of repeating random steps.

No pre-use expiry

An unused activation key does not expire. One key is consumed by the same printer during its 24-hour access period on one supported printer.

Resettable Canon absorber codes: on supported models, WICRESETPRO can clear the waste ink counter behind Canon support codes 5B00, 5B01, 5B02, 5B03 and 5B04. The exact code displayed depends on the printer and region.

Physical maintenance still matters: software resets the electronic counter only. If ink is leaking or the absorber/pads are saturated, clean or replace the maintenance components before continued printing.

Service-mode preparation for Canon TS6260

Follow the full model-specific procedure above, including preparation and any explicitly assigned alternative. Read the complete service-mode instructions above. This documentation status does not change confirmed reset support.

Requirements and common mistakes

Prepare the Canon TS6260 before activation

Required setup

  • A Windows 10/11 x64 computer.
  • Direct USB data cable connected without a hub or splitter.
  • Only the target Canon TS6260 connected; remove other Epson or Canon equipment.
  • No pending print documents and no unrelated printer error.
  • Stable power for the complete reset and restart.
  • Correct model-specific service mode before starting the reset in WICRESETPRO.

Avoid these failed attempts

  • Do not use Wi-Fi or a network-only connection.
  • Use the Pro key assigned to your order.
  • Do not disconnect USB or power while the program is writing.
  • Do not confuse a waste ink warning with a print-head or cartridge failure.
  • Do not repeat head cleaning unnecessarily after the reset.
  • Save the complete message or log before asking for support.

Verify another model in the supported printer finder.

Troubleshooting

If the Canon TS6260 reset does not start

Printer is not detected

Change to a direct motherboard USB port, remove hubs, try another data-capable cable and disconnect other Canon or Epson devices. Restart Windows if the maintenance device was not installed correctly.

The printer still shows another error

Write down the exact code and check cartridges, paper path and power status. WICRESETPRO cannot bypass an unrelated fault that prevents the printer from reaching the required maintenance state.

Warning returns after restart

Confirm that the program reported success and that the printer was switched off as requested by the procedure. Check the exact counter or error again rather than assuming every service message is the waste ink counter.

Reset the Canon TS6260 with the correct workflow

Read, reset and verify Canon TS6260

  1. Use the USB connection and the model-specific service mode requested by WICRESETPRO. Wait for stable detection before continuing.
  2. Read the available waste ink counters in WICRESETPRO and wait for a completed result. A missing reading is not a zero reading.
  3. Waste ink counter reset is supported for this model. Select that operation and follow its preparation instructions in the app.
  4. For a supported full reset, enter your valid Pro reset key and start the operation. Keep the connection stable until the app reports the result.
  5. Restart only when instructed, then read the counters again in Pro to verify the outcome.

Once a supported printer is connected and ready, the reset itself can take about a minute. Installation and preparation can take longer.

Resetting a counter does not replace physical absorber maintenance.

Your reset key

Unused keys do not expire. After the first reset, you can reuse the key on the same printer for 24 hours. Unused units in a Multi-Key pool do not all expire when that printer’s reuse period ends.

Choose one Multi-Key with the purchased pool or the corresponding number of separate codes. Check the current product, price and currency in the store.

Questions and answers

How do I reset the Canon TS6260 waste ink counter?

Prepare a direct USB connection, enter the correct model-specific service mode and run WICRESETPRO with one valid key. Restart the printer after the success message.

Can Canon TS6260 be reset over Wi-Fi?

Use a USB cable for Canon TS6260 service procedures in WICRESETPRO. Its normal printing connection does not replace the USB service connection.

Can I reset Canon TS6260 with buttons only?

The button sequence prepares the Canon printer for the required service operation. It does not by itself reset the waste ink counter. Use the supported procedure in WICRESETPRO after detection.

How many STOP/RESET presses does Canon TS6260 use?

The current model-specific sequence is shown in the service-mode instructions above. See the service-mode instructions above; reset support is recorded separately.

Does an unused reset key expire?

Unused keys have no expiry date. After the first reset, the key can be reused on the same printer for 24 hours. Unused Multi-Key units remain available.

Does software replace the physical absorber?

No. The program clears the electronic counter. A saturated or leaking absorber must be cleaned or replaced before continued printing.

What should I save if the reset fails?

Keep the order email, key, screenshot and complete program message or log. Do not repeatedly change the procedure without recording the result.
