A method of operating an automatic cycle of a clothes dryer is disclosed wherein, after initiation of an automatic cycle, a CPU displays the expected time remaining during the current cycle. Each edge counter is provided to detect at least one change in signal level at a respective location on the IC die. The first axis is parallel to the second axis, and a distance between the first axis and second axis defines an eccentricity. The signal may, for example, stop the supply of electric power to the power supply couple. This provides better performance than the known techniques for single frequency networks. The consumable item is detachably connected to the printing device and includes a RF linking device positioned along a substantially vertical face of the consumable item.
