    And after work, I had to choose this sensor (microswitch)
    Precise repair, but it worked, everything works as it should now, I hope I will forget about the 6C10 error
    For those who have a problem with it, before disassembling it, it is worth spraying the KONTAKT preparation on it, it often gives advice.

FAQ

TL;DR: “the program worked 100 % the first time” [Elektroda, alek49, post #17856268] and cuts absorber‐error downtime by up to 30 minutes per printer. Service Tools v1-v4 unlock hidden maintenance menus but throw coded alerts if the device isn’t in strict service mode.
Why it matters: A 5-minute reset can save a perfectly good Canon Pixma from landfill.

Quick Facts

• Supported firmware: Service Tool v1.0.7.4, v2.0.0.0, v3.4.0.0; all require 32-bit Windows XP-7 [Elektroda, Anonymous, post #11495307] • Common entry combo: Power + Stop 2–6 presses; full sequence differs by model [Elektroda, Anonymous, post #11674512] • Absorber counter range: 0–100 %, adjustable in 10 % steps [Elektroda, seba694637, post #10843666] • Error 006 = “not in service mode”; 002/001 = function blocked or unsupported [Elektroda, Anonymous, post #11495307] • Canon service manuals rate absorbers for approx. 15 000 pages before overflow [Canon iP4600 SM].

What does Service Tool error code 006 mean?

Error 006 appears when the printer is detected but not actually in service mode [Elektroda, Anonymous, post #11495307] Enter service mode again, then reopen the tool.

Can I run Service Tool on Windows 7 or 8.1?

Yes, but only 32-bit editions. Users succeeded on Windows 7 64-bit by running the EXE as administrator [Elektroda, alek49, post #17856268] 64-bit drivers may still block USB commands.

Why are all buttons in the program greyed out?

Inactive buttons mean no USB link. Check: 1) service mode active, 2) USB cable, 3) 32-bit OS. The IP4500 showed the same issue when the PC failed to detect “Universal USB Printer” [Elektroda, tom740509, post #11590020]

How do I enter service mode on a 520/521-cartridge Pixma?

  1. Power off. 2. Hold Stop, then hold Power. 3. Release Stop. 4. Press Stop twice. 5. Release Power. Wait for steady green LED, then plug USB [Elektroda, Anonymous, post #11674512]

Does the MP600 work with any Service Tool version?

No confirmed support. Users report disabled options or error 006 when the MP600 is connected, because it uses older 5/8 cartridges [Elektroda, weelk, post #11613131]

What causes error 5B00 or 5B02 on MG-series printers?

Seven yellow blinks and code 5B00/5B02 signal a full ink absorber. Reset the counter with Service Tool, then replace or clean the sponges [Elektroda, leeart, post #16817667]

Where can I download Service Tool safely?

Canon never releases it publicly. Forum archives host v1–v4, but some RARs carry Trojans [Elektroda, mod note, post #18234390] Scan every download before use.

Why do I still get 23 blinks (6C10) after resetting the absorber?

Code 6C10 points to a valve-cam sensor jam, not the absorber. Remove debris around the purge unit or replace the purge drive system [Elektroda, leeart, post #19321920]

What does error 001 or 002 mean when clicking Platen or Deep Clean?

Error 001 means the printer rejected that specific function; error 002 signals the feature isn’t available for the connected model [Elektroda, Anonymous, post #11495307]

How can I reset pampers with Service Tool v3400 in under three minutes?

  1. Enter service mode (Stop ×5 sequence). 2. Open v3400, click EEPROM to confirm connection. 3. Click SET under “Counter Value(%)” with 0 selected. Power-cycle the printer [Elektroda, Fiolek77, post #20421962]

Does Service Tool fix B200 (10 blinks) head errors?

No. Ten alternating blinks indicate head voltage faults. Replace the print head and logic board together [Elektroda, leeart, post #17940872]

Is there a risk in lowering the absorber percentage to 0 % without replacing sponges?

Yes. Canon specs absorbers for ~15 000 pages [Canon iP4600 SM]. A reset without cleaning can flood electronics and trigger hardware faults, as seen on IP3600 after ink overflow [Elektroda, Anonymous, post #11702684]

How can I view hidden EEPROM data?

After entering service mode, press the EEPROM button. The printer prints a status sheet showing absorber counts, error history, and region code [Elektroda, Anonymous, post #11702307]
