摘要:
One example discloses a system comprising a computer comprising a memory to store machine readable instructions. The system can also comprise a processing unit to execute the machine readable instructions, the machine readable instructions comprising a data collector. The data collector can receive a plurality of verification records from a printer. Each verification record can characterize a usage of a given replaceable supply at the printer. The data collector can also evaluate a verification history of the printer based on the plurality of verification records to determine a usage credit for the printer. The usage credit can correspond to a number of authentic replaceable supplies consumed at the printer.

A replaceable printer component includes a memory and a communication link The memory stores a tag encryption mask and data. The data is stored in a plurality of portions of the memory where each portion is defined by a tag. The tag encryption mask indicates an encryption status of each portion of the memory defined by a tag. The communication link is configured to communicatively link the memory to a printer controller when the replaceable printer component is installed in a printing system.

A replaceable printer component includes a memory and a communication link. The memory is configured to store data in each of a plurality of portions of the memory. Each portion is defined by a tag. Within a first portion of the memory defined by a first tag, the data within the first portion is stored in a plurality of sub-portions of the first portion. Each sub-portion is defined by a sub-tag. The communication link is configured to communicatively link the memory to a printer controller when the replaceable printer component is installed in a printing system.
