Disclosed is an intelligent interactive module, which is applicable to a trolley (10) comprising a stand (300) and a handle (400). The intelligent interactive module comprises a printing unit (510), a main body (520), a touch screen (530), a reading unit (540), and a control unit (550), wherein the printing unit (510) is disposed on the stand (300), the main body (520) is disposed on the stand (300) and adjacent to the handle (400), the touch screen (530) is disposed on the main body (520), the reading unit (540) is disposed in the main body (520), and the control unit (550) is disposed in the main body (520) and is electrically connected to the printing unit (510), the touch screen (530), and the reading unit (540). When the reading unit scans identification information of goods, the control unit receives a first signal from the reading unit, and controls the touch screen to display printed information corresponding to the goods; and when the touch screen receives an input instruction from a user, the control unit receives a second signal from the touch screen, and controls the printing unit to print goods information corresponding to the goods. In addition, the disclosure further discloses a trolley comprising the intelligent interactive module.

In the field of printing equipment, a handheld printer, a printing method, an information processing method and a printing device is provided. The problem that an existing printer is limited in operation and printing is solved. The handheld printer includes a printer body, a nozzle protection cover, and a handle. The nozzle protection cover and the handle are provided at two opposite ends of the printer body. The printer body includes a printing panel, and the printing panel is located on the inner side of the nozzle protection cover. The printing panel is provided with at least two nozzles, the at least two nozzles are sequentially arranged at intervals in the first preset direction and the second preset direction, the first preset direction is in the vertical direction, and an included angle is formed between the second preset direction and the first preset direction.

A paper management system setting a paper information piece of paper stored in a sheet feeding unit in an image forming apparatus from a list of paper information pieces registers the paper information pieces with a favorite group, displays a list of the paper information pieces for each favorite group, and enables the list of the paper information pieces to be associated with a paper feed unit through the screen displaying the list.

Examples disclosed herein relate to displaying, in a user interface, a list of available print jobs, wherein at least one of the available print jobs comprising a secured print job is displayed as a placeholder entry instead of an identifying entry, receiving a selection of the placeholder entry requesting an authentication for the secured print job, and displaying the identifying entry of the secured print job upon verification of the authentication.

An applicator device includes a printing head that applies a material to a target, a camera that captures an image of the target, and a processor. In the case where the applicator device moves relative to the target or the target moves relative to the applicator device and an application area of the target in the image reaches a particular position in the image, the processor performs a notification process to notify that the application area has reached the particular position.

A color management system for a printing system includes a color management service that controls quality control operations, such as calibration and quality checks, over a plurality of printing devices. The color management service generates a target print job having a quality control target made of color patches. The color management service also encodes metadata within the target print job using a control strip. The control strip encodes the metadata using different color patches and color intensities. The control strip is scanned at the printing device to decode the metadata and enable a user interface to complete the quality control operation.

An inspection device includes a processor configured to use, as correct image data, read image data obtained by reading an image-formed matter obtained by forming original image data on a recording medium, and, in a case where a first inspection of determining quality of read image data as an inspection target is performed using the correct image data, the read image data being obtained by reading a new image-formed matter, perform a second inspection on a blank portion or a solid portion included in the read image data as the inspection target, the second inspection using the original image data as the correct image data.

An information processing method performs steps for an information processing apparatus to communicate with an image forming apparatus having first and second sheet output sections. The second sheet output section can be switched between a close position to serve to guide a sheet to the first sheet output section, and an open position not to guide the sheet to the first sheet output section but to stack the sheet. The method inputs a type of sheet, acquires information indicating whether the second sheet output section is in an open or closed state, and transmits image information to the image forming apparatus. When the sheet type recommends the sheet be output to the second sheet output section and the second sheet output section is in the closed state, a message is output to prompt to switch the second sheet output section into the open position before the image information is transmitted.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium stores computer-readable instructions. The computer-readable instructions are executed by a processor of a pretreatment information generation device that generates pretreatment information to be used in pretreatment on a recording medium by a pretreatment device. The computer-readable instructions that, when executed by the processor, perform processes including receiving image data to be printed on the recording medium, and identifying the pretreatment information to perform the pretreatment with respect to the received image data.

An inspection device includes a processor configured to use, as correct image data, read image data obtained by reading an image-formed matter obtained by forming original image data on a recording medium, and, in a case where a first inspection of determining quality of read image data as an inspection target is performed using the correct image data, the read image data being obtained by reading a new image-formed matter, perform a second inspection on a blank portion or a solid portion included in the read image data as the inspection target, the second inspection using the original image data as the correct image data.
