Hi guys,
Error code 5B00 indicates absorber full error. To fix this problem you need to reset waste absorber counter and replace waste ink absorber. Unfortunately you don't write the printer model so I cannot write reset procedure here.

Waste ink is full counter reset.

Clean or replace the absorber and reset the printer counter to clear the message.
