Can Canon Service Tool Reset an MC-32 Maintenance Cartridge?

[brvno]

Hi fellow Canon users,

I have a Canon TC-20 that uses the MC-32 maintenance cartridge, and I would like to know whether the Canon Service Tool can be used to reset the MC-32 after it has reached its limit.

I am familiar with using the Service Tool to reset waste ink counters on some Canon models, but I am unsure whether the MC-32 cartridge itself contains a chip or counter that can be reset, or if the cartridge must be replaced with a new one.

Has anyone successfully reset an MC-32 maintenance cartridge using the Canon Service Tool, or is replacement the only option?

Thank you for any information or experience you can share.

So far as I know, MC-32 maintenance cartridge can't be reset by Canon Service tool. If reach its limitation, need to replace by new one.

Thank you for this feedback. I thought resetting the ink absorber counter with the canon service tool would let me continue to use the MC-32 maintenance cartridge, but this is not the case. I am not sure if resetting this counter has any effect on this printer.
It is possible though to reset the chip on the MC-32 itself. There are resetters available online but it is also possible to use something like an Arduino to read/write the code of the chip.
