Abstract:
A logic circuitry package for a print apparatus includes a serial data bus interface to interface with a serial data bus, the logic circuit to respond to messages from the print apparatus over the serial data bus directed to a number of different addresses using different component keys for cryptographic authentication corresponding to each different address, the different component keys related to at least one master key of the print apparatus. The logic circuitry package further includes control logic which, in response to a session initiation request message on the serial data bus from the print apparatus, is to establish a secure communication session related to one of the different addresses, the control logic to cryptographically authenticate responses to each subsequent message of the secure communication session from the print apparatus using a component key corresponding to the address.
Abstract:
A logic circuitry package for association with a replaceable print apparatus component comprises: logic and a serial data bus interface, wherein the serial data bus interface is to interface with a serial data bus of a print apparatus, and, wherein the logic is, in response to a first command sent to the logic circuitry package via the serial data bus connected to the serial data bus interface, the first command including a time period, to generate a low voltage condition on the serial data bus for a duration based on the time period, and, after the duration, return to a default voltage condition on the serial data bus.
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 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.
Abstract:
A sensor circuit for a replaceable print material container to be connected to a host print apparatus logic circuit comprising a first sensor to detect a pneumatic stimulus or pressurization applied by a print apparatus, and an interface including contact pads to connect to a voltage and/or data source of the print apparatus logic circuit, the sensor circuit configured to output signals conditioned by the pneumatic stimulus or pressurization via the contact pads.
Abstract:
In an example, a method comprises, by logic circuitry associated with a replaceable print apparatus component, responding to a first validation request sent via an I2C bus to a first address associated with the logic circuitry with a first validation response; and responding to a second validation request sent via the I2C bus to a second address associated with the logic circuitry with a second validation response.
Abstract:
In an example, a logic circuitry package has a first address and comprises a first logic circuit. In some examples, the first address is an I2C address for the first logic circuit, and the package is configured such that, in response to a first command indicative of a task and a first time period sent to the first address, the first logic circuit is to, for a duration of the time period, perform a task, and disregard I2C traffic sent to the first address.
Abstract:
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.
Abstract:
A logic circuit including a data interface to transmit communications is provided. The logic circuit may be configured to, in response to a task command over the data interface, the task command including (i) a task parameter and (ii) a time parameter of zero, execute a task of the task parameter for a predetermined time period, and/or, execute the task while not responding to communications of the first protocol.
Abstract:
A logic circuitry package for a replaceable print apparatus component includes an interface including a power terminal and at least one logic circuit. The at least one logic circuit is configured to respond to communications sent to a first address via the interface and respond to communications sent to a second address via the interface. The at least one logic circuit is configured to in response to a first command sent to the first address, draw a first current on the power terminal; and in response to a hibernate command sent to the first address, respond to communications sent to the second address and draw a second current on the power terminal less than the first current.
