Introduction
⚠️ The "Golden Rules" Before You Download
Using a Service Tool is not like using Microsoft Word. It accesses the firmware level of the device. If you click the wrong button, you could render the printer useless.
While I couldn't find specific information on version v4905, here are some general features you might expect from a Canon Service Tool:
Before downloading, ensure your printer model is supported. The V4905 version is primarily designed for: G Series: G1000, G2000, G3000. MG Series: MG3540, MG3670, MG5140, MG5770, and others MP/MX Series: MP230, MP280, MX320, MX497. Important: Models like the E40x , E41x , MG24xx , and MG25xx
Canon printers count every drop of ink used during cleaning cycles, printing, and power-on purges. All that waste ink is absorbed into a sponge pad inside the printer. Canon sets a conservative counter limit (usually around 7,000–10,000 page cleanings). Once reached, the printer displays an error and refuses to print—even if the sponge is not actually full.
