  • Patent number: 10860392
    Abstract: An electronic device includes first and second controllers that execute processing based on first and second operating systems (OSes). The first controller includes a command generation unit that generates a command to be executed by the second controller, and a command transmission unit that includes a correspondence relationship associating in advance plural commands to be executed by the second controller with a control code stipulating an execution sequence of the plural commands, and if a control code corresponding to plural commands generated by the command generation unit exists in the correspondence relationship, the command transmission unit assigns the control code to the plural commands and transmits to the second controller. The second-controller receives the plural commands transmitted from the command transmission unit, and executes the plural commands based on the execution sequence stipulated by the assigned control code.

  • Patent number: 10863052
    Abstract: A system of identifying end-user processes in a print environment receives job data corresponding to jobs that have been processed by one or more print devices in a print environment over a time period, and identifies a plurality of processing operations initiated by a user during the time period. The system determines whether the plurality of processing operations comprise a scan processing operation that was performed after a print processing operation and within a second time period from performance of the print processing operation. In response to determining that the plurality of processing operations comprise a scan processing operation initiated by the user that was performed within the second time period from a print processing operation, the system generates a digital representation of an end user process that includes the first processing operation and the second processing operation, and presents a visual representation of the end user process for validation.

  • Patent number: 10857798
    Abstract: A cap is positioned to contact a printhead when the printhead is not ejecting liquid ink. The cap and the printhead create a sealed space adjacent printhead nozzles when contacting each other. A heated evaporator is connected to the cap and is adapted to evaporate an ink-compatible liquid to form a water and/or solvent vapor and supply the water and/or solvent vapor to the sealed space to protect the liquid ink in the nozzles. An insulator thermally insulates the heated evaporator from the printhead. This prevents the ink in the nozzles from drying and prevents the nozzles from clogging.
