Consumable chip and imaging box

Abstract

The present invention provides a consumable chip and an imaging box, wherein the consumable chip includes a first chip for communicating with an imaging device and a second chip connected with the first chip; the first chip stores a first serial number; The second chip stores a second serial number, and the second chip is used for storing the first serial number in the first chip after the imaging device reads the first serial number in the first chip. The serial number is rewritten as the second serial number. The consumable chip and imaging box provided by the embodiments of the present invention can solve the problem that a chip with only a single serial number cannot be reused, effectively improve resource utilization, and have a simple structure, easy implementation and low cost.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of imaging technology, in particular to a consumable chip and an imaging box. Background technique [0002] With the continuous development of imaging technology, the application of various imaging devices such as printers is becoming more and more extensive. The printer needs the assistance of imaging cartridges such as ink cartridges to complete the printing work. The imaging cartridges are generally provided with consumable chips for communicating with the printer. And record the information of the imaging box. [0003] When the printer is working, it will communicate and authenticate with the consumable chip, and it will memorize the serial number in the consumable chip. When the printer detects the same serial number, it will refuse to recognize the printer, so that the existing ink cartridges cannot be reused, resulting in a waste of resources; or the status information of the serial number memorized is reflect...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

When the printer detects the same serial number, it will refuse to recognize the machine, so that the existing ink cartridge cannot be reused, resulting in waste of resources; or the state information of the serial number memorized will be reflected on the next chip with the same serial number installed, and an error will occur.
