ABSTRACT:
A method of operating an image forming apparatus includes the steps of: storing information in a memory located in a fuser assembly; and changing at least one operating characteristic of the image forming apparatus based upon the stored information. In a more particular example of the present invention, a method of operating an electrophotographic printer includes the steps of: storing information in a memory located in a fuser assembly; installing the fuser assembly in the printer; and controlling operation of the fuser assembly using a controller in the printer, dependent upon the stored information.
