Canon · Ink absorber warning
Canon PIXMA Support Code 1700
Canon's TS5000/TS9500 documentation states that support code 1700 means the ink absorber is almost full.
Start hereThis is a warning rather than the same condition as 5B00. On the cited models, Canon allows printing to continue after acknowledging the message, but recommends arranging service.
What to check
Step 1
Confirm the exact model and code 1700.
Do not confuse 1700 (almost full on cited models) with 5B00 (full on cited models).
Step 2
Acknowledge the message if your exact model allows it.
Canon's cited TS-series guides say to select OK to continue printing.
Step 3
Plan for service.
The absorber is approaching capacity, so the warning should not be ignored indefinitely.
Step 4
If a different Canon model gives different instructions, follow that model's manual.
Support-code behavior can be family-specific.
