The ink absorber pad, also known as the waste ink pad, is a component within the printer that absorbs excess ink and cleaning solution expelled during print head cleaning cycles. When this pad reaches its capacity, the printer's internal counter triggers an error, like 5200, to prevent ink overflow and potential damage.
