Summary: | A thermal printing machine (30) is provided with a releasably attachable tape cassette (1) which holds the tape (5) on which an image is placed. The cassette includes a memory circuit component (15) which includes at least two separate memory areas. The first area (65) contains a first value which is read by the printing machine; the second area (75) contains a second value which is placed on the cassette as a result of the first value having an algorithm applied to it. When the cassette (1) is installed in the machine, the machine applies the algorithm to the first value and checks this against the second value. This process is followed in order to see if the cassette (1) contains a compatible tape for that machine.
Imprimante thermique (30) pourvue d'une cassette (1) de bande à fixation détachable qui retient la bande (5) sur laquelle une image est située. La cassette comprend un élément (15) de circuit mémoire qui comporte au moins deux zones mémoire distinctes. La première zone (65) renferme une première valeur qui est lue par l'imprimante et la deuxième zone (75) renferme une deuxième valeur qui est placée sur la cassette lorsqu'un algorithme a été appliqué sur la première valeur. Lorsque la cassette est installée dans la machine cette dernière applique l'algorithme sur la première valeur et vérifie le résultat en fonction de la deuxième valeur. Ce processus se déroule afin de vérifier si la cassette renferme une bande adaptée à ladite machine. |
