Abstract

Disclosed is a computer-readable medium storing instructions to load a software bundle on to a printer, in which the instructions could include instructions to initialize the printer. A multi-component software in a multi-functional printer is also disclosed, in which is revised by loading a software bundle which contains at least one revised component. The software is qualified before it is bundled and the bundle could be a single file. The printer may have a smart print cartridge. The bundle may be placed on a server, which could be the printer. Also information relating to the revision may be transmitted prior to, during, and/or after the bundle is loaded. A multi-functional printer with an input for receiving a software bundle is also disclosed, with components for at least two parts, where the input may be a network interface and the processor is configured to distinguish each of software components and to recognise a file extension associated with the software bundle.
