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: An ink cartridge has an ink sensor. A printer's control device transmits a detection command and specified detection condition to the cartridge by radio. In response to the detection command, a sensor controller actuates and vibrates the sensor under the specified detection condition. The sensor is attached to a resonance chamber disposed in an ink chamber. The vibration frequency the sensor is regulated by a resonance frequency of the resonance chamber. The resonance frequency is varied by ink in the resonance chamber. Resonance frequency detection specifies the presence or absence of ink in the resonance chamber and so the quantity of ink. The printer's control device receives the detection result with the detection condition from the cartridge, and checks whether detection was performed under the specified detection condition, to verify the detection result's validity.
