Abstract: A method of securely transferring user data from a first communication device to a second communication device includes receiving with the first device a public encryption key transmitted by the second device over a first communication medium using a first communication protocol. The user data is encrypted with the first device using the received public key. The encrypted user data is transmitted from the first device to the second device over a second communication medium using a second communication protocol.

Abstract: To prevent rubbing of the printing mechanism against still wet ink on a buckled or curled sheet of an absorbent print medium after an inkjet printer has printed one swath of a high density image, printing of the next swath is delayed as a function of the maximum density of the ink drops deposited on the print medium for the printed swath(s). The required delay in printing the next swath is dependent on print mode and preferably uses a formula with empirically derived constants to allow sufficient time for the solvent in the ink to evaporate or otherwise disperse and to permit any buckling or curling of the print medium to stabilize.
