Quick answer
1700 means the internal ink absorber is almost full. Match the exact TS8300-series model, stop the job and follow Canon's documented branch once.
Safety first
Stop and check this first
- Stop immediately for smoke, burning smell, liquid inside the printer, a damaged power cable or repeated electrical tripping. Disconnect only if it is safe to reach the plug; never continue testing an unsafe printer.
Safe checks you can perform
- Preserve the exact failure branch
- Continue only as a temporary bridge
Leave these tasks to a qualified professional
- Do not attempt this professional task: Measured Canon service handoff for 1700
What a technician must be able to justify
A technician is coming
These are the steps they must carry out and show you. Tick them as they work: if steps are skipped, do not accept a part swap.
These are not instructions for opening or handling the equipment yourself. They are the checks that should support a technical conclusion.
Measured Canon service handoff for 1700
What they doProvide the exact model, serial number, 1700 message, job stage and the result of “Continue only as a temporary bridge”. Ask the technician to reproduce the branch “the internal ink absorber is almost full” against the exact service information and record the failed observation or measurement before quoting a part.
Before accepting a part or repair
Nothing has been shown yet. Do not accept a part swap based on the code alone.
Follow these steps
Note: Follow the documented order. An error code identifies the affected system, but it does not prove by itself which part has failed.
Preserve the exact failure branch
Photograph 1700, the full touch-screen message and the exact TS8300 model. Note the paper source, active job and whether the code appeared before movement, during feed or after printing. The code narrows the branch to “the internal ink absorber is almost full”; it does not identify a replacement part.
Stop immediately for smoke, burning smell, liquid inside the printer, a damaged power cable or repeated electrical tripping. Disconnect only if it is safe to reach the plug; never continue testing an unsafe printer.

Continue only as a temporary bridge
Select OK only if one necessary print must finish, then arrange Canon service. Do not open the printer, replace pads, reset the absorber counter or continue routine printing; overflow risk remains.
Stop immediately for smoke, burning smell, liquid inside the printer, a damaged power cable or repeated electrical tripping. Disconnect only if it is safe to reach the plug; never continue testing an unsafe printer.

What it means
Canon's official TS8300-series manual says support code 1700 means the internal ink absorber is almost full. This applies to the documented TS8320, TS8340, TS8350/51/52, TS8360, TS8370 and TS8390/91/92 family, not every Canon printer.

Symptoms and causes
Probable causes · in order
- What usually triggers this codeCommon
The internal absorber is approaching its service limit; it is not a user-accessible consumable in Canon's documented branch.
Evidence: Canon PIXMA TS8300 support code 1700
- 1700 persists after the documented actionPossible
If 1700 returns once the visible condition has been corrected, the safe external branch is exhausted. The recurrence proves only that the documented action did not resolve this branch; the display alone cannot select or confirm an internal component.
