Canon G3010 Error P07 Fix | Ink Absorber Pad is Full

The P07 error on your Canon G3010 means that the Ink Absorber Pad is full. This is a built-in safety measure to prevent ink from leaking out of the printer after a certain number of prints or cleanings.

You can usually clear this error yourself by resetting the internal counter through Service Mode.

Here is the step-by-step process:

Step 1: Enter Service Mode

1. Turn off the printer, but leave it plugged in.

2. Press and hold the Power button.

3. While still holding the Power button, press the Stop button (the triangle in a circle) 5 times (some newer models may require 6 times).

4. Release both buttons. The green power light should flash for a moment and then stay solid green.

   • If the light is not solid green, turn it off and try again, ensuring the button sequence is steady.

Step 2: Reset the Counter

Once the green light is solid (you are now in Service Mode):

1. Press the Stop button 5 times.

2. Press the Power button 1 time.

3. The printer should process for a moment and then print a small page containing a string of numbers (usually starting with D=000.0). This indicates the counter has been reset.

Step 3: Finalize

1. Turn off the printer using the Power button.

2. Turn it back on normally. The P07 error should be gone.

Important Maintenance Note

This reset only clears the digital counter; it does not physically clean the ink pads.

• The Risk: If you reset the counter multiple times without ever cleaning or replacing the pads, ink may eventually leak out of the bottom of the printer.

• The Fix: If you notice ink stains on your desk, it’s time to have a technician replace the physical felt pads inside.
