Abstract: Examples disclosed herein relate to an imaging device. The imaging device to include a discharge member to discharge a first pattern on a photoconductor; and a writing engine to control the discharge member to discharge a second pattern to the photoconductor to obscure any latent pattern formed from the first pattern remaining on the photoconductor.

Abstract: In one example, a printing material cartridge includes a container to contain a printing material and a memory to enable an exchange of information between the cartridge and a printer controller when the cartridge is installed in a printer. The memory includes a write once then read only first memory address, a write once then read only memory second memory address, and a memory controller to control data storage and retrieval to and from the first and second memory addresses and to control the exchange of information with the printer controller. The second memory address has information to prompt the printer controller to write a printer fleet identifier to the first memory address.

Abstract: Examples associated with firmware encryption are described. One example device firmware includes a base module. The base module controls a base function of the device. The device firmware also includes a first encrypted module that modifies a first function of the device. The first encrypted module is inactive until decrypted. A decryption module decrypts the first module using a first encryption key and controls activation of the first encrypted module.

Abstract: Examples associated with printer authentication are described. One example print container includes a space for a supply of print material and an interface for delivering the print material to a printer to which the print container is connected. An authentication module provides an authentication signal to a decrypted module embedded in firmware of the printer. The decrypted firmware module is kept in an encrypted state until decrypted by a decryption module embedded in the firmware of the printer. The decrypted module is decrypted after the decryption module receives a decryption key after release of the printer.
