Updating a supported-supplies database of an image forming apparatus

摘要

Example updating a supported-supplies database of an image forming apparatus are disclosed. An example method includes receiving an imaging supply in a printer; accessing an action identifier on the imaging supply; and in response to the action identifier, at least one of updating a database of the printer to include a first supported imaging supply previously not supported by or compatible with the printer, or removing a second supported imaging supply previously supported by or compatible with the printer from the database.

主权项

1. A printer, comprising:
a database including supply identifiers identifying imaging supplies that are compatible with the printer; and a processor to:
in response to a first imaging supply being coupled to the printer, access a first supply identifier and a first action identifier from the first imaging supply; andbased on the first action identifier, at least one of (1) add the first supply identifier to the database to enable at least one of the first imaging supply and a second imaging supply to be used by the printer, or (2) remove the first supply identifier from the database to prevent the least one of the first imaging supply and the second imaging supply from being used by the printer, prior to the removal of the first supply identifier from the database, the at least one of the first imaging supply and the second imaging supply being usable by the printer, and prior to the addition of the first supply identifier to the database, the at least one of the first imaging supply and the second imaging supply not being usable by the printer.
