Abstract
A replaceable unit monitor reader system includes a host processor and a coupler board. The coupler board has a detection circuitry that provides an auto-detect, auto-initiate and/or auto-select ability. After receiving command from the host processor, the coupler board enables communication with a CRUM without requiring a further command from the host processor.
