An example method comprising requesting authorization to reprocess a replaceable supply component using first data stored in memory of the replaceable supply component and an interface, the first data including original manufacturing data for the replaceable supply component. The method further comprises, in response to the request, receiving second data using the interface, and appending the original manufacturing data stored in the memory with the second data to designate the replaceable supply component as reprocessed.

Appending data on a replaceable supply component

An example printing material cartridge may include an input/output device and a memory. The memory may store an identifier of the cartridge, a usage counter of the cartridge, and an indicator that the cartridge has reached a usage threshold. The memory may also store a usage offset equal to a historical usage of the cartridge, the usage offset for determining a new remaining usage of the cartridge.
