This is the primary reason users seek out the tool. When the internal waste ink pads are saturated, the printer stops working to prevent ink leaks. The Service Tool resets this electronic counter to zero.
Resetting the digital counter without changing the physical pads is a temporary band-aid. The ink pads are made of felt and will eventually overflow, spilling dark ink onto your desk or carpet. Taking the printer to a local independent repair shop ensuring they physically swap the pads and safely reset the counter is the most responsible choice. 2. Use Verified Third-Party Software (WIC Reset Utility)
If you reset the counter without physically cleaning or replacing the ink absorbers, your printer may eventually leak ink internally.
: Most models require a specific button sequence. Typically, you hold the Power button, press Stop/Reset five times, then release both.
Version 4720 is specifically optimized for older and mid-generation Canon PIXMA G-series, MG-series, and IP-series models, including: G1000, G2000, G3000, G4000 PIXMA MG-Series: MG5550, MG5650, MG5750, MG6850 PIXMA iP-Series: iP7240, iP7250 The Hidden Risks of "Repack" Downloads
Using an unstable, modified, or incorrect version of the Service Tool can corrupt your printer's mainboard logic circuit. If the software sends an incompatible command while the printer is in Service Mode, it can permanently lock or "brick" the EEPROM. Once a mainboard is locked, the printer will no longer turn on, requiring a physical replacement of the motherboard. 3. Firmware Mismatch
The printer model is not supported by version V4720.
While still holding Stop, press and hold the Power button. Do not let go of either.

After your first digital reset, consider opening the lower printer casing to wash and dry the felt pads, or reroute the internal waste tube into an external waste ink bottle for easy disposal.
Allows technicians to read, dump, or clear the printer's non-volatile memory data.
If you do choose to clear the digital counters through a software utility, you must address the physical hardware. You can open the lower housing of the printer, remove the saturated felt pads, wash them thoroughly in warm water, dry them completely, and reinstall them. Alternatively, some users route a small silicone tube from the internal waste ink pump out through the back casing into an external bottle.
The term usually refers to a version of the software that has been modified for easier installation or use. Standard versions of the Service Tool often require specific registry keys or hardware dongles to function. A "repack" version typically:
