Method and apparatus for spoofing imaging devices
First Claim
1. A method spoofing an imaging device adapted for reading data from an electrical storage device to determine a volume of ink in an ink container, the method comprising:
- providing a replacement electrical storage device for use with the ink container, the replacement electrical storage device comprising memory locations; and
responding, by the replacement electrical storage device, to reads of memory locations of the replacement electrical storage device by returning data to the imaging device which causes the imaging device to calculate an inaccurate initial volume of ink stored in the ink container.

Abstract
Techniques for spoofing an imaging device adapted for reading data from an electrical storage device to determine a volume of ink in an ink container include providing a replacement electrical storage device for use with the ink container, the replacement electrical storage device comprising memory locations; and responding, by the replacement electrical storage device, to reads of memory locations of the replacement electrical storage device by returning data to the imaging device which causes the imaging device to calculate an inaccurate initial volume of ink stored in the ink container.

7. A method spoofing an imaging device adapted for reading data from an electrical storage device to determine a volume of ink in an ink container, the method comprising:
-
providing a replacement electrical storage device for use with the ink container, the replacement electrical storage device comprising memory locations; responding, by the replacement electrical storage device, to reads of memory locations of the replacement electrical storage device by returning at least partially inaccurate data to the imaging device; and calculating, by the imaging device, an incorrect initial volume of ink stored in the ink container.
