Abstract

An ink jet printer with intelligent components includes an ink jet cartridge (74) and a roll of print media (81), each of which incorporate memory elements (78, 80). Environmental sensors (76) such as temperature and humidity sensors may also be provided. Data from the memory elements (78, 80) and environmental sensors (76) is used to optimize printer operations, and to provide additional information to printer operators.
