Abstract
Techniques for identifying interdependent cartridges are described herein. In one example, a method can detect a signal from an indication switch on a first cartridge, wherein the signal results from a user manually actuating the indication switch. The method can also detect a second interdependent cartridge based on interdependence information. Furthermore, the method can activate an interdependence indicator on the first cartridge and an interdependence indicator on the second cartridge.
