G2800 Waste Ink Reset Clearing Your Printer's Ink Pad
Do you own a G2800 printer and have you been seeing an error message that says "Ink Pad Full"? Well, the good news is that you can easily reset the waste ink counter and make your printer function properly again. Here's a detailed guide on how you can do it.
Why does this issue occur?
The G2800 inkjet printer has an ink absorber pad that collects the excess ink when you print documents. Over time, this pad gets filled up and needs to be replaced. However, most users prefer to reset the counter instead of replacing the ink pad, which can be an expensive affair.
Step-by-step guide to resetting the waste ink counter
1. Start by turning off the printer and unplugging it from the power source.
2. Press and hold down the resume/cancel button and simultaneously press and hold down the power button.
3. Release both buttons and wait until the power light starts flashing.
4. Press the resume/cancel button twice and release the power button.
5. The printer will now enter the service mode.
6. While in service mode, press the resume/cancel button 4 times and then press the power button to confirm the selected function.
7. Press the resume/cancel button 4 more times and then press the power button to initiate the waste ink counter reset.
8. Finally, turn off the printer and unplug it from the power source, then turn it on again. Your printer should now function properly.

? Always disconnect the printer from the power source before attempting to reset the waste ink counter.
