Abstract

The invention relates to a method for monitoring a stock of consumable material in a system comprising an image forming apparatus having means for identifying a consumable material item inserted therein, a stock monitoring module, means for deriving usage data relating to consumable material in the stock and memory means. The method comprises the steps of identifying a consumable material item inserted in the image forming apparatus, sending the identity of said item to the stock monitoring module, creating a distinct entry for said item in the memory means upon reception for the first time by the stock monitoring module of the identity of said item and deriving usage data relating to said item. The invention further relates to a system for monitoring a stock of consumable material.
