Dynamic address change optimizations

A consumable device, comprising:

• a reservoir containing toner or ink;
• and
• circuitry, comprising an interface for coupling to a master and a dynamic address generator coupled to the interface, the dynamic address generator for generating component addresses, wherein following an event, the circuitry performs in succession a plurality of sets of operations, each set of operations comprising receiving, by the interface, an address change request from the master and generating a new component address by the dynamic address generator in response, wherein a last one of the new component addresses generated is available as the component address for the circuitry in one or more subsequent communications to with the master, the event comprising at least one of the circuitry being coupled to the master, the circuitry initially receiving power and the circuitry being reset.

Component circuitry, comprising:

• an interface circuit for communicatively coupling with a master;
• and
• a dynamic address generator coupled to the interface circuit, the dynamic address generator selectively generating component addresses, wherein substantially immediately following an event, the interface circuit receives a plurality of address change requests from the master and, in response to each address change request received, the dynamic address generator generates a new component address and the interface circuit sends to the master at least one acknowledgement, each acknowledgement being sent before a next address change request of the plurality of address change requests is received by the interface circuit, a last one of the new component addresses generated being available by the component circuitry for one or more subsequent communications with the master, the event comprising at least one of the component circuitry being coupled to the master, the component circuitry initially receiving power and the component circuitry being reset.
