A method for transmitting information from an electrical storage device 200 associated with an ink container 18 to a controller 26 within a printer system 10 to operate and control a print head 16. The method comprises defining a plurality of virtual capacities for a physical ink container 18, declaring to the controller 26 an identifier of a current virtual capacity of the plurality of virtual capacities, calculating a virtual ink volume associated with the current virtual capacity, and repeat the process for at least one subsequent virtual capacity of the plurality of virtual capacities. The controller 26 is implemented with a microprocessor or programmable controller, while the electrical storage device 200 may be a microcontroller, a microprocessor, a programmable gate array, an integrated circuit, or a memory device. |
