Hi! There is a proposal to change the life cycle of cartridges in the system. The current cycle is as follows: Purchase -> On stock (status is New) -> In printer (is Used) -> Empty (Worn) -> On stock (New) When the status of the cartridge is changed from Worn to New, counter of printed pages is reset. As a result, there is no history of using the cartridges in the printer, no records about cartridge refilling, no total number of pages printed by this printer and with these cartridges.
Offered life cycle looks in such a way: Purchase-> On a stock (status is New)-> In the printer (Used)-> On a stock (Worn)-> In the serving company (On refilling)-> On a stock(New) From any condition it is possible to translate cartridge in a condition "Is written off", after its use becomes impossible. At transition from the status Used in the status Worn to a cartridge the quantity of the pages printed by it is appointed to the catridge and data are written to a table about in what printer it was, what is the time and what number of printed pages by it. At transition from the status Worn in the status "On refuelling" the serving company is underlined. At transition in the status New the financial information is underlined. Thus the full information on use of cartridges, including quantity and cost of cycles of restoration, quantity of the printed pages each cartridge and each printer and finally total cost will included. And one more amendment - smaller - at cartridge installation in the printer it is necessary to give the possibility to choose which cartridge there will rise. Now it turns out very inconveniently - it is necessary to add at first a cartridge in the printer in system, then to find in cartridges that cartridge chosen by system and to fix it. To take better at once a cartridge and to add it on Id. -- Eugene V.
