The developing cartridge RFID tag 31 and the fixing unit RFID tag 41 are attached to the cartridge 30 and the fixing unit 40, respectively.

일반적인 화상형성장치의 동작은 본 발명의 요지와 관련이 없으므로 설명은 생략한다.Since the operation of the general image forming apparatus is not related to the gist of the present invention, description thereof is omitted.

현상카트리지(30)와 정착유닛(40)에 부착된 RFID 태그(31)(41)는 RFID 기술을 이용한 일종의 메모리 수단이다. RFID(Radio frequency identification)이란 무선 주파수 인식을 통한 자동인식기술로서, 바코드와 마그네틱 카드를 대체할 수 있는 비접촉식 정보전달 시스템의 한 방식이다. RFID 방식의 정보전달 시스템의 구성은 일반적으로 많이 알려져 있으므로, 상세한 설명은 생략한다.The developing cartridge 30 and the RFID tags 31 and 41 attached to the fixing unit 40 are a kind of memory means using RFID technology. Radio frequency identification (RFID) is an automatic recognition technology through radio frequency recognition, and is a method of a contactless information transmission system that can replace barcodes and magnetic cards. Since the configuration of the information transmission system of the RFID method is generally known, a detailed description thereof will be omitted.

상기 현상카트리지 RFID 태그(31)와 정착유닛 RFID 태그(41)에는 무단 사용을 방지하기 위한 다양한 보안 정보와 함께, 각각의 부품들이 정상적으로 사용되기 위한 각종 설정값들이 저장될 수 있다.The developing cartridge RFID tag 31 and the fixing unit RFID tag 41 may store various setting values for normal use of each component together with various security information for preventing unauthorized use.

도 2는 본 발명의 일 실시예로서, 상기한 RFID 태그와 같은 메모리 수단이 설치된 현상카트리지(30)와 정착유닛(40)과 같은 소모품을 관리하는 방법을 나타낸 흐름도이다.2 is a flowchart illustrating a method of managing consumables such as a developing cartridge 30 and a fixing unit 40 in which memory means such as the RFID tag is installed, as an embodiment of the present invention.

현상카트리지(30)와 정착유닛(40)은 종래와 같은 방법으로 생산되며(S10), 생산된 현상카트리지(30)와 정착유닛(40)에는 RFID 태그인 메모리 수단(31)(41)이 각각 부착된다. 일반적으로 RFID 태그는 패시브 태그(passive tag)를 의미하며, 별도 전원 없이 안테나 코일, 칩 및 이들을 보호하는 커버로 구성된다. 따라서 상기 현상카트리지 RFID 태그(31)와 정착유닛 RFID 태그(41)는 별도의 배선 없이 상기 현상카트리지(30)와 정착유닛(40)에 부착되는 것이 가능하다(S20).The developing cartridge 30 and the fixing unit 40 are produced in the same manner as in the prior art (S10), and the produced developing cartridge 30 and the fixing unit 40 have memory means 31 and 41 which are RFID tags, respectively. Attached. In general, an RFID tag means a passive tag, and is composed of an antenna coil, a chip, and a cover for protecting them without a separate power supply. Therefore, the developing cartridge RFID tag 31 and the fixing unit RFID tag 41 may be attached to the developing cartridge 30 and the fixing unit 40 without separate wiring (S20).

현상카트리지(30)와 정착유닛(40)에 부착된 RFID 태그(31)(41)들에는 사용되는 국가별로 차이가 없는 공통 설정 정보가 기록되는데, 일반적으로 각 장치의 생 산일자나, 고유아이디 등이 이에 속한다(S30).The RFID tags 31 and 41 attached to the developing cartridge 30 and the fixing unit 40 are recorded with common setting information which does not differ depending on the country used. Generally, a production date or a unique ID of each device is recorded. The back belongs to this (S30).

공통 설정 정보가 기록된 현상카트리지(30)와 정착유닛(40)은 개별 포장되어 사용되는 국가에 상관없이 출고된다(S40). The developing cartridge 30 and the fixing unit 40 in which the common setting information is recorded are shipped regardless of the country in which the individual packaging is used (S40).

출고된 상기 소모품들은 여러 국가로 보내지며, 해당 국가의 판매허브에서 국가별로 설정이 필요한 정보를 상기 RFID 태그에 저장한다. 이때, 저장되는 정보는 사용되는 전압정보와 해당 국가의 판매상 고유 아이디 등이 있을 수 있다. 전압정보의 경우, 국가별로 사용하는 전압과 전기의 고유 특성이 서로 차이가 나므로, 해당 지역에 최적화된 동작을 위해 저장되는 것이며, 판매상 고유 아이디는 해당 소모품의 판매 비율에 따른 판매상의 수익을 계산하기 위해 저장되는 것이다(S50).The consumables that have been shipped are sent to various countries, and information necessary to be set for each country in the sales hub of the corresponding country is stored in the RFID tag. In this case, the stored information may include voltage information used and a unique ID of a seller of a corresponding country. In the case of voltage information, since the unique characteristics of the voltage and electricity used in each country are different from each other, they are stored for the operation optimized for the region, and the sales unique ID is used to calculate the sales profit according to the sales ratio of the consumables. It is stored for (S50).

상기 S50 단계에서 국가별 설정값이 저장되면, 상기 판매상은 소비자에게 상기 현상카세트(30) 및 정착유닛(40)과 같은 소모품들을 공급한다(S60).When the country-specific setting value is stored in the step S50, the seller supplies the consumables such as the developing cassette 30 and the fixing unit 40 to the consumer (S60).

한편, 본 발명의 다른 실시예에 의하면, 해당 국가 판매 허브에서 국가별 설정 정보를 저장하여 배분하지 않고, 소비자 단계에서 이러한 설정값 저장이 이루어질 수도 있다.On the other hand, according to another embodiment of the present invention, the national sales hub does not store and distribute the country-specific setting information, it is also possible to store such a setting value at the consumer stage.

즉, 도 3에 도시된 바와 같이, 해당 국가별로 설정이 필요한 정보를 사용자가 구입한 화상형성장치에 미리 저장하고, 이 저장된 정보는 현상카트리지(30)와 정착유닛(40)이 화상형성장치에 장착되면서(S51), 현상카트리지 RFID 태그(31)와 정착유닛 RFID 태그(41)로 저장하는 것도 가능하다(S61).That is, as shown in FIG. 3, information necessary to be set for each country is stored in advance in the image forming apparatus purchased by the user, and the stored information is stored in the developing cartridge 30 and the fixing unit 40 in the image forming apparatus. While being mounted (S51), it is also possible to store the developing cartridge RFID tag 31 and the fixing unit RFID tag 41 (S61).

이처럼 현상카트리지(30)와 정착유닛(40)에 부착되는 RFID 태그(31)(41)에 공통 설정값만 저장하고, 각 국가별로 설정이 필요한 값들은 국가별로 따로 저장하 도록 관리하면, 생산된 상기 소모품들을 다양한 국가에 특별한 구분 없이 공급할 수 있어 생산관리 비용을 절감할 수 있다.In this way, only the common setting values are stored in the developing cartridge 30 and the RFID tags 31 and 41 attached to the fixing unit 40, and values that need to be set for each country are managed to be stored separately for each country. The consumables can be supplied to various countries without particular classification, thereby reducing production management costs.

이상과 같은 본 발명에 의하면, 생산단계에서는 현상카트리지와 정착유닛에 설치된 RFID 태그와 같은 메모리 수단에, 해당 지역에 따른 기본 설정값을 저장하지 않은 상태로 출고하고, 국가에 따라 개별적으로 저장이 필요한 설정값은, 해당 국가의 최종 판매 허브 또는 사용자 단계에서 저장 되도록 구성하기 때문에, 국가 구분없이 출고된 현상카트리지와 정착유닛을 다양한 지역에서 사용하는 것이 가능하다.According to the present invention as described above, in the production stage is shipped to the memory means, such as the RFID tag installed in the developing cartridge and the fixing unit, without storing the default settings according to the region, it is necessary to store separately according to the country Since the set value is configured to be stored at the final sales hub or user level of the corresponding country, it is possible to use the developed cartridges and the fixing unit shipped from various countries in various regions.

따라서, 생산단계에서 지역별 고유 코드에 맞게 별도 자재명세서(BOM, Bill of materials) 체계를 가져갈 필요가 없어 공정이 단순화되며, 생산관리 비용을 절감하는 것이 가능하다.Therefore, it is not necessary to bring a separate bill of materials (BOM) system for each region-specific code in the production stage, thereby simplifying the process and reducing production management costs.

이상, 본 발명의 본 발명의 원리를 예시하기 위한 바람직한 실시예와 관련하여 도시하고 설명하였으나, 본 발명은 그와 같이 도시되고 설명된 그대로의 구성 및 작용으로 한정되는 것이 아니다. 오히려, 첨부된 특허청구범위의 사상 및 범주를 일탈함이 없이 본 발명에 대한 다수의 변경 및 수정이 가능함을 당업자들은 잘 이해할 수 있을 것이다. 따라서, 그러한 모든 적절한 변경 및 수정과 균등물들도 본 발명의 범위에 속하는 것으로 간주되어야 할 것이다.As mentioned above, although shown and described with reference to the preferred embodiment for illustrating the principle of this invention of this invention, this invention is not limited to the structure and operation as it was shown and described.
