Dynamic Address Change Optimizations

Abstract

Component circuitry for a replaceable printer component, including an address generator which selectively generates component addresses, wherein following an event, the component circuitry performs in succession a plurality of sets of operations, each set of operations including receiving an address change request from a master and changing the component address in response, a last one of the changed component addresses being available as the component address for the component circuitry in one or more subsequent communications with the master.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . Component circuitry, comprising:
 an interface for coupling to a master; and   an address generator, the address generator selectively generating component addresses, wherein following an event, the component circuitry performs in succession a plurality of sets of operations, each set of operations comprising receiving, by the interface, an address change request from the master and changing the component address in response, wherein the component circuitry uses a last one of the changed component addresses as the component address for one or more subsequent communications with the master, the event comprising at least one of the component circuitry being coupled to the master, the component circuitry initially receiving power and the component circuitry being reset.
