Abstract: A controller for a printing device includes print mode controller to determine whether a first or second print mode is to be used for a print job, and temperature controller to control a printhead temperature at least one of prior to and during printing the print job, the temperature controller to activate a printhead heater to cause the printhead temperature to be raised to a first temperature if the print mode controller determines that the first print mode is to be used, and the temperature controller to activate the printhead heater to cause the printhead temperature to be raised to a second temperature if the print mode controller determines that the second print mode is to be used, the second temperature different from the first temperature.

Abstract: A printer is provided comprising a storage section arranged to store medium profile information; and a communication section arranged to obtain the medium profile information via a network, wherein the communication section is further arranged to communicate the medium profile information to an image processing section.

Abstract: A shuttering and sealing device is disclosed. In one embodiment, the device includes an aperture through which light may pass to an optical sensor, a seal surrounding the aperture, and a shutter movable between an open position in which the shutter does not cover the aperture and a closed position in which the shutter covers the aperture and the seal seals the shutter around the aperture.
