A meter monitors and provides a level of remaining toner for each of the one or more cartridges. A yield component receives level data from each meter to compare to an expected yield and an expected grams per impression, wherein if the expected yield and/or the expected grams per impression are outside of a predetermined threshold, a signal is output.
A system that provides a notification when a predetermined event occurs that is related to a consumable, comprising:
A computer implemented method to calculate an actual yield of a consumable within a device, comprising:
A computer implemented method to calculate the yield per stick for a device, comprising:
The method according to claim 21 wherein the yield per stick is equal to the total impressions count divided by the new stick count value.
Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
