Method and device for resetting chip of imaging box

Abstract

The embodiment of the invention discloses a method and a device for resetting a chip of an imaging box, applying to the technical field of imaging. In the embodiment of the invention, the communication protocol information between an imaging device and a chip of an imaging box and the exact location information for the reset starting interface within the chip of the imaging box and the reset interface are required to be obtained firstly, then the reset operation of the chip of the imaging box is activated according to obtained communication protocol information and the position information ofthe reset starting interface, and then the initial data are written into an exact reset interface according to predetermined encoding rules and the position information of the reset interface. Thus, the device provided by the embodiment of the invention activates reset operation via the reset starting interface and writes the initial data into the reset interface according to a hardware circuit of the chip of an actual imaging box, so that the reset operation is carried out, the correctness of reset storage data of the chip of the imaging box is ensured, the communication between the chip of the imaging box and the imaging device after reset is ensured, and the performances of the chip of the imaging box are stable in certain degree after reset.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of imaging technology, in particular to a method and device for resetting chips in an imaging box. Background technique [0002] In the field of imaging technology, imaging devices (such as printers, copiers, and fax machines) are generally used in conjunction with imaging cartridges, and different types of imaging devices are matched with different types of imaging cartridges, such as toner cartridges and ink cartridges. The imaging cartridge chip is set on the imaging cartridge, and the characteristic information of the consumables is stored in the imaging cartridge chip, such as the manufacturer’s logo, capacity, remaining pages, coverage, use date and color, etc. During the imaging operation, the imaging cartridge The device will write information such as the detected developer capacity information and the number of remaining pages into the chip of the imaging cartridge in good time to realize the management of th...
