  • Publication number: 20220377199
    Abstract: According to examples, an apparatus may include a processor that may access a window of pixels corresponding to print data. The print data may specify printing of a plurality of pixels based on an original document image and image-independent print data. The apparatus may identify a first pixel, from among the window of pixels, corresponding to the image-independent print data, determine a characteristic associated with the window of pixels, determine, based on the characteristic, that the image-independent print data is to specify printing of a second pixel from among the window of pixels. The apparatus may cause the image-independent print data to specify printing of the second pixel based on the determination that the image-independent print data is to specify printing of the second pixel.

  • Patent number: 11446933
    Abstract: In one example method, a determination is made via a processor that a document is to be printed using a printer including a printhead assembly and a printhead accessory based on a received print job. A determination is made via the processor that a first portion of the document is to be printed by the printhead assembly and a second portion is to be printed by the printhead accessory based on a characteristic of the printhead accessory. The first portion of the document is printed via the printhead assembly and the second portion of the document is printed via the printhead accessory.

  • Patent number: 11410005
    Abstract: Examples described herein relate to a system consistent with the disclosure. For instance, the system may comprise a printing device including hardware to form markings on a print medium, a memory resource, and a controller to receive a print job to form the markings on the print medium, render a page description language of the print job to form the markings, determine an object type image of the print job, designate pixels of the determined object type image to form a covert dot pattern on the image, and adjust colors of the designated pixels to form the covert dot pattern on the markings.

  • Patent number: 11232014
    Abstract: According to examples, an apparatus may include a first processing stage device to process data, a second processing stage device to process the processed data, and a control device. The control device may access first performance information of the first processing stage device, determine, from the accessed first performance information, an operational state of the first processing stage device, and determine whether a countermeasure is to be taken based on the determined operational state of the first processing stage device, in which the countermeasure is to improve the operational state of the first processing stage device. The control device may also, based on a determination that a countermeasure is to be taken, output an instruction for the countermeasure to be implemented.

  • Patent number: 10210642
    Abstract: Information relating to a user input to edit a portion of an image is received,A where the image is divided into a plurality of tiles. In response to the received information, at least one further tile in a representation of the edit is created. A data structure including entries that link the plurality of tiles and the at least one further tile is created. The at least one further tile with the plurality of tiles are combined to produce an output page that includes the image with the edit applied to the image.
