Abstract: An example method comprises identifying a plurality of supply levels corresponding to a set of print supplies of a print device. The example method further comprises coordinating depletion of the set of print supplies by selecting between black print and process black print for a print job of the print device based on the plurality of supply levels.

Abstract: An example method comprises identifying a plurality of supply levels corresponding to a plurality of print supplies of a print device, and adjusting a color for a region of a print job for the print device based on the plurality of supply levels. The method further comprises initiating execution of the print job using the adjusted color for the region.

Abstract: An example apparatus includes a packaging container, and any of a label and an electronic tag detachably connected to the packaging container and including an electrical code set for electrical authentication upon removal of any of the label and the electronic tag from the packaging container and being affixed to a device associated with the packaging container, wherein the electrical authentication is to validate the packaging container and the device as original equipment manufacturer components. Any of the label and the packaging container is altered upon removal of the label from the packaging container.

Abstract: A cartridge including a carrier storing an authenticity verification code readable by a scan device other than a host device and an auto-destruct feature to render the authenticity verification code unreadable at installation.

Abstract: An image forming system includes at least one toner cartridge, an image forming unit, and a cartridge life determination module. The toner cartridge may include toner and at least one component. The image forming unit may selectively form an image in one of a low coverage mode and a high coverage mode such that a greater amount of the toner is used in the high coverage mode than the low coverage mode in a formation of the respective image. The cartridge life determination module may determine an amount of remaining life of the toner, an amount of remaining life of the at least one component, and an effective amount of remaining life of the at least one toner cartridge based on the amount of remaining life of the toner and the amount of remaining life of the at least one component.

Abstract: A method for providing a message on a replaceable printing component of a printing device includes detecting a trigger event, retrieving a message from a memory associated with the replaceable printing component in response to the trigger event, and forming the message on an imaging member of the replaceable printing component, wherein the trigger event includes an end of a print job, and wherein the message remains on the imaging member after completion of the print job.

Abstract: A cartridge for a printing device includes first and second portions coupled to one another and capable of moving relative to each other, one or more rollers situated at the first portion, a photoconductor situated at the second portion, and a lock mechanism. The rollers are in contact with the photoconductor in a first position of the first and the second portions. The lock mechanism maintains the first and the second portions in a second position in which the rollers are separated from the photoconductor.

Abstract: In one embodiment, an article includes a spacer configured to increase a dimension of only a portion of a guide part on a print cartridge when the spacer is fastened to the guide part and a fastener allowing the spacer to be removably fastened to the guide part.
