Following is the resolution as provided by Canon.

The ink absorber absorbs the ink used when cleaning is executed. In order to maintain the best printing, the ink used when cleaning is absorbed into the ink absorber inside the printer. Resolving this error requires the assistance of a Canon authorised service facility.
