Abstract

ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE

A monitor/warranty system for electrostatographic reproducing machines in which replaceable cartridges providing a predetermined number of images are used, each cartridge having an EEPROM
programmed with a cartridge identification number that when matched with a cartridge identification number in the machine enables machine operation, a cartridge replacement warning count, and a termination count at which the cartridge is disabled from further use, the EEPROM
storing updated counts of the remaining number of images left on the cartridge after each print run.
