Abstract: In response to an order from a user, a new expendable container is supplied in exchange for an expendable container possessed by the user. Price for ink supply is determined based on expendable-related information that indicates at least the model of the expendable container possessed by the user, thereby promoting refilling and recycling of expendable containers. Price can be discounted if there is remaining ink, whereby discarding of ink can be discouraged, thus contributing to protection of the environment.

Abstract: The present invention provides a storage device that enables identification data to be readily rewritten and ensures normal completion of a data writing operation in a short time period. In the storage device of the invention, an ID comparator determines whether or not identification data transmitted from a host computer coincides with identification data stored in a memory array. In the case of coincidence, the ID comparator sends an access enable signal EN to an operation code decoder. The operation code decoder analyzes a write/read command, switches over a direction of data transfer with regard to the memory array based on a result of the analysis, and requires an I/O controller to change a high impedance setting of a signal line connecting with a data terminal DT. This series of processing allows access to an address in the memory array specified by a count on an address counter.

Abstract: Control circuit 30 determines whether or not all ink cartridges CA1 through CA6 are attached in the home position based on cartridge out signals COO. Control circuit 30 carries out communication with memory devices 21 through 26 and determines the presence or absence of communication malfunctions. When a communication malfunction develops in one of memory devices 21 through 26, control circuit 30 determines if a communication malfunction is caused by ink cartridge 30 being detached and identifies detached ink cartridge CA using identifying information. When all of ink cartridges CA1 through CA6 are attached, control circuit 30 determines which of memory devices 21 through 26 has developed a communication malfunction and identifies ink cartridge CA in which a communication malfunction has developed using identifying information.

Abstract: In a multi-level printer that enables a plurality of dots to be created in each pixel, the technique of the present invention reduces the unevenness of density and the roughness due to localization of dots in each pixel. The principle of the present invention is applicable to, for example, an ink jet printer that enables ink to be ejected successively in each pixel in the course of the main scan. Multiple tones are expressible in each pixel corresponding to the number of dots created therein. A dot formation pattern is set in such a manner that the center of all dots to be created in each pixel is substantially coincident with the center of the pixel. This arrangement effectively interferes with the localization of dots in each pixel and thereby reduces the unevenness of density and the roughness. In the case of bidirectional recording, this arrangement effectively prevents the misalignment of dot forming positions in a forward pass of the main scan with those in a backward pass of the main scan, thus attaining the high quality printing.
