Abstract

Ein Druck- oder Kopiergerät das eine- oder mehrere modulartig aufgebaute, austauschbare Teilaggregate (14) aufweist. Das zu identifizierende Teilaggregat (14) weist eine Identifizierungsanordnung (30) mit einem nicht flüchtigen Speicher (43) zum Abspeichern von funktionsrelevanten Betriebszuständen zugeordneten Betriebsdaten des Teilaggregates (14) auf sowie eine Kommunikationsschnittstelle (38,39) zum lösbaren Koppeln der Identifizierungsanordnung (30) mit einer Prozeßsteueranordnung (40) des Gerätes. Falls kein Datenspeicher vorhanden ist oder Daten eines ersten Datentypes auf einem vorhandenen Datenspeicher fehlen, wird eine Meldung zur Eingabe der Daten des ersten Datentyps ausgegeben.

Figure 00000001
A printing or copying device which has one or more interchangeable sub-assemblies (14) of modular construction. The sub-assembly (14) to be identified has an identification arrangement (30) with a non-volatile memory (43) for storing function-related operating states of the operating data of the sub-assembly (14) and a communication interface (38, 39) for detachably coupling the identification assembly (30). with a process control arrangement (40) of the device. If there is no data storage or data of a first data type on an existing data storage is missing, a message is output to enter the data of the first data type.
