- Main Ink Absorber Counter Value: D=028.5
New Logic Board
- Destination: ASA (Asia)
- Main Ink Absorber Counter Value: D=000.0

Note
-  Destinations. Canon iP4800 series printers purchased in Japan automatically destination is JPN (Japan), while the new Logic Board purchased comes from ASA (Asia). So the EEPROM data for the Destination Country should be changed from ASA to JPN.
-  Ink Absorber Counter. Because the value of the Ink Absorber Counter before the Logic Board was replaced was D=028.5 then when a New Logic Board is installed, the Ink Absorber Counter will read D=000.0. In order to avoid an error in the Ink Absorber Calculation, the value of D=000.0 must be reset to D=030.0 (30%)
-  For other EEPROM data such as the number of pages that have been printed/copied, etc., it cannot be reset because the Service Tool only provides a limited menu for resetting the EEPROM data.
