ABSTRACT:
An accessory control device for installation in an electronic apparatus, provided with a setting memory that stores various settings for the electronic apparatus, thus facilitating switching of settings during installation and removal of the accessory control device. Parameters such as those for communication with a workstation, number of copies to be made, and other settings in a laser printer are normally stored in EEPROM in the printer. When the accessory control device, in the form of a cartridge, is installed, a microprocessor in the cartridge stores settings from the printer in the EEPROM. Therefore, settings in the EEPROM are stored, and when the cartridge is removed, the printer immediately operates according to its original settings.
