Abstract
In one example in accordance with the present disclosure, a print device is described. The print device includes multiple consumable components. Each consumable component includes a portion of a hardware-based identifier. At least one sensor of the print device reads multiple portions of the hardware-based identifier. A controller of the print device combines the multiple portions of the hardware-based identifier and verifies the hardware-based identifier to determine an authenticity of the multiple consumable components.
