  • Publication number: 20210046769
    Abstract: Power allocation in printing devices is disclosed. Independent load requests are received from printing device heater systems. Power grants are allocated based on a general power arbitration of a power source in response to the independent load requests. A power grant is adjusted based on a contextual printing condition to provide an adjusted grant from the power source to a printing device heater system of the printing device heater systems. The adjusted grant is based on a power grant limit corresponding with the contextual printing condition.

  • Patent number: 10882308
    Abstract: An airflow device includes a motor to drive an impeller to cause a first airflow and a second airflow. A housing at least partially encloses the motor and impeller, and the housing defines at least a first path and a second path. Via the first path, the first airflow recirculates and is heated with the first path including a first wall with a nozzle array through which the first airflow passes to contact printed media passing external to the first wall. The second path receives a second airflow of air to travel alongside the motor and exit through a first port to join the first airflow at the impeller.

  • Patent number: 10871738
    Abstract: An example system includes a varying resistive device, a controllable resistive device, a power supply to power the varying resistive device and the controllable resistive device, and a controller to control operation of the varying resistive device and the controllable resistive device. The varying resistive device changes a power level used during operation. The controller includes a flicker control portion, wherein the flicker control portion is to control a power level at the controllable resistive device based on changes in the power level used by the varying resistive device to maintain a flicker level below a predetermined flicker threshold.

  • Publication number: 20200180302
    Abstract: An example of a print system including a dryer to dry a sheet of paper. The print system includes a media feeder to feed the sheet of paper into the dryer and a controller to vary a speed of the media feeder. The print system includes a communication interface to receive data associated with an image to print on the sheet of paper and a processor. The processor is coupled to the controller and the communication interface. The processor is to determine a first density index for a first portion of the image and to determine a second density index for a second portion of the image. The processor is to adjust the speed of the media feeder via the controller based on the first density index and the second density index.

  • Patent number: 10662011
    Abstract: A media transport system, includes a transport path, a drive gear at one end of the transport path, a driven gear at an opposite end of the transport path, an endless loop transmission element engaged with the drive gear and the driven gear, a media clamp secured to the endless loop transmission element, and a one-way clutch coupled with the driven gear. The endless loop transmission element is to rotate in one direction to move the media clamp and transport media from the one end of the transport path toward the opposite end of the transport path, and the one-way clutch is to allow rotation of the driven gear in the one direction and resist rotation of the driven gear in an opposite direction.
