How To Resolve Ink Absorber Error [B500]

Just like any modern device these days, they all come with error codes. The iP7240 printer has a dreaded error code that people often find difficult to understand – the error “B500”.

A very important thing to note is that this error don’t just occur, it comes with  series of warning on your screen as shown below.

So when the absorber is finally filled up, the sign is usually weird and can throw you off balance. But usually the sign to look out for is the alternating light (White & Yellow) that is, the On and Resume button light.  When you see this sign you should remember the “Ink Absorber Almost Full” warning.
