Abstract:
A consumable item of a printing device is authenticated based on analog values of operational parameters of the printing device measured during usage of the consumable item within the printing device. An action is performed based on whether authentication of the consumable item of the printing device was successful or not.
Abstract:
A printing device determines that a consumable item newly installed within a printing device has previously been used, based on a remaining life of the consumable item. In response to determining that the consumable item has previously been used, the printing device resets the remaining life of the consumable item.
Abstract:
Parameters particular to the consumable item and that affect calculation of an estimated remaining life of the consumable item when used in the printing device for printing are received. A payload is constructed based on the parameters. The printing device is to use the parameters when calculating the estimated remaining life of the consumable item during usage of the consumable item for printing.
Abstract:
A server device receives a request over a network for settings for a printing device having an identifier. The server device determines whether the settings for the printing device were previously received from the printing device and responsively saved by the server device, based on the identifier of the printing device. In response to determining that the settings for the printing device were previously received from the printing device and responsively saved by the server device, the server device transmits the settings over the network to reconfigure the printing device according to the settings.
Abstract:
A non-transitory memory storing a digital signature of a consumable product where the digital signature indicates that an identifier and host device setting data are from a trusted source.

Abstract:
Methods and systems are described to determine authenticity of a consumable product. The determining of authenticity may include communicating with a listing engine that contains a list of identifiers for consumable products classified as non-authentic, installing a consumable product in the host device where the consumable product stores an identifier in memory, and determining whether the consumable product matches one of the identifiers.
Abstract:
A user device transmits to a computing device an authentication code for a virtual printing device consumable item. The computing device authenticates the virtual printing device consumable item using the authentication code. Upon successful authentication of the virtual printing device consumable item, the virtual printing device consumable item is associated with a printing device to permit the printing device to print in accordance with the virtual printing device consumable item. The printing device subsequently prints as permitted by the virtual printing device consumable item.
Abstract:
A device receives information regarding whether a cover of an authentication indicia of a consumable has been subject to tampering. In response to the information indicating that the cover of the authentication indicia has not been subject to tampering, the device obtains an image of the authentication indicia after the cover has been removed from the authentication indicia. The device performs an authentication process to authenticate the consumable based on the authentication indicia.
Abstract:
In some examples, a computing device can include a processing resource and a memory resource storing instructions to cause the processing resource to receive an authentication signal from an imaging device, authenticate the imaging device using the authentication signal, and transmit print enablement data to the imaging device to enable print job functionality for the imaging device in response to authenticating the authentication signal.
