ABSTRACT:
An encoder plate, or wheel, is connected for rotation on a toner cartridge for an electrophotographic machine, wherein the encoder plate conveys cartridge characteristic information to the machine when the cartridge is installed in the machine. The encoder plate includes a plurality of openings, wherein an opened or closed status of the plurality of openings represent the cartridge characteristic information. Apparatus and method is provided to program the encoder plate by applying a material to the encoder plate to selectively cover one or more of the plurality of openings.
