A printing device is caused to print the modified print job.

Abstract: A video is divided into video segments, and each video segment is divided into one or more video sub-segments. A theme of each video segment is identified using machine learning. Theme blocks for the video are generated such that each theme block corresponds to one or more of the video sub-segments having a common theme.

Abstract: According to examples, an apparatus may include a processor and a memory on which is stored instructions that may cause the processor to determine that a user is within a predefined time period prior to a printing device item being scheduled for automatic shipment to the user. The processor may also determine whether a notice condition has been triggered, in which the notice condition is based on a geolocation of the user and/or historical travel information of the user with respect to a facility at which the printing device item is available. In addition, based on a determination that the notice condition has been triggered and while the user is within the predefined time period, the processor may output a message to the user that the printing device item is available for the user to obtain from the facility.

Abstract: Preliminary frames are selected from a video segment. For each preliminary frame, an emotion present in the preliminary frame and an emotional intensity of the emotion present in the preliminary frame are identified using a machine learning model. One or more candidate frames are selected from the preliminary frames having the emotion that is present in the greatest number of the preliminary frames. One or more representative frames for the video segment are selected from the candidate frames based on the emotional intensity thereof.

Abstract: A print material refill container includes a housing and a chamber, within the housing, to contain a print material. The print material refill container includes a physical indicator subject to modification based on an engagement of the physical indicator with an engagement member of a printing device when the print material refill container engages the printing device to deliver the print material to a reservoir of the printing device. The physical indicator indicates an unused condition of the print material refill container when the physical indicator has a first state prior to the modification, and the physical indicator indicates a used condition of the print material refill container when the physical indicator has a second state subsequent to the modification.

Abstract: An apparatus includes a developer and a photoreceptor, where the developer is to transfer a toner to the photoreceptor. The apparatus includes a housing that is moveable in an image forming device, and an actuator assembly engaged with the housing. The actuator assembly is actuatable between different states in response to control by the image forming device during an image forming operation of the image forming device, where a first state of the different states corresponds to the housing being at a first position that disrupts a transfer of the toner to a transfer member of the image forming device during the image forming operation, and a second state of the different states corresponds to the housing being at a second position that allows the transfer of the toner to the transfer member.

Abstract: An apparatus includes a developer and an actuator moveable in response to an input stimulus during an image forming operation of an image forming device. The apparatus includes a clutch that is actuatable, during the image forming operation, by the actuator between an engaged position in which the clutch is engaged with a photoreceptor and a disengaged position in which the clutch is disengaged from the photoreceptor. The clutch when in the engaged position transfers a force of a photoreceptor drive assembly to the photoreceptor for moving the photoreceptor, and the clutch when in the disengaged position isolates the photoreceptor drive assembly from the photoreceptor.
