Abstract: A method of providing instructions to a user of an imaging device includes generating a three-dimensional (3D) model of the imaging device in a 3D computer generated environment. At least one computer generated imagery (CGI) instruction sequence is then rendered from the 3D model. The CGI instruction sequence depicts at least one action being performed on the imaging device and is rendered from a virtual viewpoint corresponding to a viewpoint of a user physically performing the at least one action. The rendered CGI instructions are stored in memory of the imaging device and selectively displayed on a user interface display screen of the imaging device.

Abstract: A method of manufacturing an ink stick provides the ink stick with a coded mark. The method includes forming an ink stick body of a phase change ink composition, and applying a marking composition to a surface of the ink stick body to form a coded mark on the surface of the ink stick body at the marking station, the marking composition being composed of the same phase change ink composition used to form the ink stick body.

Abstract: A method of manufacturing an ink stick is provided. The method comprises forming an ink stick body of a phase change ink composition. Once formed, the ink stick body is then transported to a marking station. At the marking station, a marking composition is applied to a surface of the ink stick body to form a coded mark on the surface of the ink stick body. The marking composition is composed of the same phase change ink composition used to form the ink stick body.
