Imaging-drum E-label
The E-label is nonvolatile memory, which is built into the imaging drum and stores usage
information. When the imaging drum is installed in the printer, the E-label makes constant
contact with the E-label reader. The E-label reader sends memory information to the dc
controller, which updates the information and sends it back to the E-label.
The dc controller instructs the E-label to read information when:
The printer is turned on.
The top cover is closed.
A command is sent from the video controller.
The dc controller instructs the E-label to write information when:
A specified period occurs during printing.
A command is sent from the video controller.
