An image-printing device includes a connection bay that accepts an
insertable consumable resource. The consumable resource includes an
option key that identifies at least one mode of operation associated with
the consumable resource. The connection bay outputs at least one signal
associated with the mode of operation when the consumable resource is
inserted. A controller receives the signal associated with the mode of
operation and in response outputs display information suitable for use by
a display to indicate a selectable availability of the at least one mode
of operation.
