  • Patent number: 11480911
    Abstract: In an example, a method includes receiving, by at least one processor, an instruction to print a user specified printing task to at least one media sheet. Print operation instructions may be determined. Such print operation instructions may comprise instructions to control a print apparatus to print the user specified printing task and instructions to control a print apparatus to carry out at least one cleaning operation, wherein the cleaning operation comprises duplex printing a print media sheet.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 6, 2016
    Date of Patent: October 25, 2022
    Assignee: HP Indigo B.V.
    Inventors: Vitaly Portnoy, Michel Assenheimer, Yoav Nachmias
  • Patent number: 11216221
    Abstract: In an example, a method for controlling termination of a print procedure subsequent to a node reset within print apparatus including a plurality of nodes includes identifying the node at which the reset occurred, and controlling operation within the print apparatus by way of a selected node. The selected node is different from the identified node and selected responsive to the identification of the identified node for operation of a component of the print apparatus as part of a termination procedure.

  • Patent number: 10719037
    Abstract: Example implementations provide a method of controlling an ink developer used in electro-photography; the method comprising, following cessation of printing, varying a plurality of voltages associated with movement of ink within the ink developer at temporally disparate times.

  • Patent number: 10684571
    Abstract: An example system includes a power supply. The power supply is electrically coupled to an electrode, a developer roller, and a cleaner roller. The system also includes a controller. The controller is to instruct the power supply to reduce, at a first time, a magnitude of an electrode voltage supplied to the electrode. The controller also is to instruct the power supply to set, at a second time, a developer roller voltage and a cleaner roller voltage each to about a wet null voltage.

  • Patent number: 10656563
    Abstract: In one example of the disclosure, it is determined that an amount of print agent remaining in a print agent container of a print apparatus is below a threshold level. An amount of print solution is transferred from a print solution reservoir of the print apparatus, or an amount of print solution solvent is transferred from a solvent reservoir of the print apparatus, into the print agent container. At least some of the remaining print agent is caused to dissolve into the amount of print solution or print solution solvent to forma rinse solution. The rinse solution is transferred from the print agent reservoir to the print solution reservoir.

  • Patent number: 10466609
    Abstract: An apparatus is provided for controlling a liquid electrophotography printer (LEP). The LEP may include a plurality of ink developers, IDs, to transfer charged ink to a photoreceptor, by virtue of a potential difference between the engaged ID and the photoreceptor selectively dischargeable to allow an image to be formed on a print medium in use through printing a spread of plural color separations thereon each corresponding to ink from one of a plurality of engaged IDs. the apparatus may comprise a print controller to, in use monitor an order of color separations to be printed onto the print medium.
