The Canon Service Tool ST 5510 is an official utility software used by technicians to reset the internal counters of Canon Pixma printers. Every Canon printer has a built-in waste ink absorber that collects excess ink during printhead cleaning. Once this absorber reaches its calculated limit, the printer locks itself for safety to prevent ink leakage.
To prevent ink from overflowing onto your desk, an internal digital counter monitors usage. Once this counter hits 100%, the printer locks down defensively and displays support codes. The ST 5510 software acts as a resetter, communicating directly with your hardware to reset that digital percentage back to zero. Critical Errors Resolved by ST 5510 Main waste ink absorber full. Error 1700 / 1701: Ink absorber is almost full. Error P07: Blink code indicating service required.
Once that counter hits 100%, the printer locks down. The ST5510 software modifies the printer's EEPROM data, resetting that internal waste ink counter back to 0%. This instantly unlocks the device. Supported Canon Printer Models
