ABSTRACT:
Image forming devices, image forming device consumable assemblies and image forming device communication methods are provided. One exemplary embodiment provides an image forming device configured to use a consumable to form hard images, the image forming device includes first electrical circuitry, second electrical circuitry spaced from the first electrical circuitry, the first electrical circuitry and the second electrical circuitry being configured to assist with the formation of hard images, a receptacle configured to receive a consumable assembly containing a supply of the consumable, a first electrical connection configured to electrically couple the first electrical circuitry with a conductor coupled with the consumable assembly when the consumable assembly is positioned within the receptacle and a second electrical connection configured to electrically couple the second electrical circuitry with the conductor coupled with the consumable assembly when the consumable assembly is positioned within the receptacle to electrically couple the first electrical circuitry and the second electrical circuitry.
