ABSTRACT:
An ink-jet printing system that includes a printer portion and a replaceable ink container. The printer portion is for depositing ink on media in response to control signals. The printer portion is configured for receiving a supply of ink. The replaceable ink container is for providing a supply of ink to the printer portion. The replaceable ink container includes an electrical storage device for providing parameters to the printer portion. The electrical storage device includes an ink container scale parameter for selecting an ink container volume range from a plurality of ink container volume ranges. Also included is a fill proportion parameter for specifying a fill proportion for the selected ink volume range. The printer portion determines an ink volume associated with the ink container based on the fill proportion parameter and the selected ink volume range. A method of storing ink container parameters in the electrical storage device includes determining the ink container scale and fill proportion parameters. These parameters are then stored on the electrical storage device.
