Absorber kit replacement procedure for Canon G7040

[gedonis]

I have a Canon PIXMA G7040 printer. After deep cleaning of the nozzles, a 5B00 error occurred, and the printer stopped printing. 5B00 means the waste ink absorber is full and needs to be replaced. The yellow error indicator blinked for 7 times continuously.

There are no Canon service centers in the area where I live. I eliminated the error using a special service program. The yellow indicator is no longer blinking, but the main problem has not been solved yet. I bought a spare part, ABSORBER KIT (QY5-0647-000000), and must install it in the printer now.

Are there any manuals or videos on how to install the ABSORBER KIT?

Greetings,

You've been very resourceful,. Unfortunately I don't believe the ink absorber is a user replaceable part.  The software you used to reset the pad percentage / ink counter is proprietary and not distributed to the public.  

You can try contacting Canon Support.  I don't believe documentation for this service is available to the public.
