  • Patent number: 11110704
    Abstract: According to an example, a printing apparatus may include two drop ejecting elements, a fluid circulating element, and a logic device. The logic device may determine whether one or both of a first drop ejecting element and a second drop ejecting element have been fired within a predetermined period of time prior to a current time. In response to the determination, the logic device may selectively transmit an output signal that is to cause the fluid circulating element to be selectively fired, in which the fluid circulating element is positioned to circulate fluid adjacent to both the first drop ejecting element and the second drop ejecting element.
    Type: Grant
