ABSTRACT:
An apparatus, an article of manufacture, and a method of configuring an image forming device are provided. According to one aspect of the present invention, an apparatus operable to configure an image forming device includes an interface configured to couple with an image forming device configured to use an imaging consumable to form hard images, the image forming device being initially configured to cause the formation of an initial one of a plurality of consumable order assist functions with respect to replenishment of the imaging consumable within the image forming device and responsive to a status of the imaging consumable within the image forming device; and processing circuitry configured to communicate with the image forming device using the interface to configure the image forming device to cause the formation of another one of the consumable order assist functions with respect to replenishment of the imaging consumable within the image forming device and responsive to the status of the imaging consumable within the image forming device.
