Some examples include a print system including a memory to store instructions and print data of a print job, a processor to execute the instructions in the memory to reference print data of a print job, determine a print parameter of the print job, and transform the print data and the print parameter into a conditioning modifier. The print system includes a print engine to dispense a print substance on a medium based on the print data to generate printed medium, and a conditioner to apply heat and pressure to the printed medium, the conditioner including a pressure roller assembly, and a controller to selectively increase a transport speed the pressure roller assembly based on the conditioning modifier and a position of the printed medium relative to the pressure roller assembly to selectively increase the speed of the printed medium through the conditioner.

An image forming apparatus includes a photoelectric sensor and a controller. The photoelectric sensor emits light to an object to be detected, receives the light reflected on the object and outputs an electric signal corresponding to a quantity of the reflected light. The object includes a facing surface area and a sheet on the facing surface area. The controller detects whether the sheet exists on the facing surface area in accordance with an output of the photoelectric sensor. The controller stores, as a threshold of the output of the photoelectric sensor, a first threshold for determining that the sheet does not exist on the facing surface area and a second threshold for determining that the sheet exists on the facing surface area, and determines that the facing surface area is contaminated when the output of the photoelectric sensor is within a range between the first threshold and the second threshold.

An information processing apparatus includes a type reception unit, a notification unit, a mode reception unit, and a determination unit. The mode reception unit receives a mode selected from among a plurality of modes for determining a determined type of recording medium for use in a recording apparatus, wherein the information processing apparatus is configured to perform operations including determining, in a designation mode, a selected type of recording medium indicated by information received by the type reception unit, and determining, in an automatic determination mode, an automatically determined type of recording medium for use in the recording apparatus without receiving input user information indicating the recording medium type. In response to the determination unit determining that the mode is able to be changed from the designation mode to the automatic determination mode, the notification unit issues a prompting notification to prompt a user to change the mode.

Example implementations relate to substrate porosity determination. Some examples refer to a substrate porosity determination comprising an image capture device a controller to obtain a reference image by the image capture device; obtain a measurement image after a printing operation has been performed on a substrate located over the image capture device; compare the reference image and the measurement image—determine whether the substrate is porous based on the comparison; and determine a print parameter based on the determination of whether the substrate is porous.

A deposition device is described. The deposition device has a substrate support and a laser imaging system disposed to image a portion of a substrate positioned on the substrate support. The laser imaging system comprises a laser source and an imaging unit, and is coupled to a deposition assembly disposed across the substrate support.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing program set including a first program and a second program readable by a computer of an information processing device, the first program causing the information process device to register paper pre-set data to a paper information table in which a first correction value for correcting image data and paper information are associated, and the second program causing the information process device to: generate a list by referring to in the paper information table; send the generated list to an application program; obtain the first correction value corresponding to the paper pre-set data set in print setting from the paper information table; correct the received image data by using the obtained first correction value; and transmit a printing command for performing printing based on the corrected image data to a printer.

The tape cassette includes a housing, a tape spool, a tape, a first guide, a second guide, and a plurality of pins. The housing has an outlet. The tape spool is held inside the housing. The tape is wound around the tape spool. The first guide is configured to guide the tape toward a detection position where tape information of the tape is detected by a sensor of a printer. The second guide is configured to guide the tape that has been conveyed through the detection position toward the outlet. The plurality of pins is disposed at positions away from a straight line connecting the tape spool with the first guide. The pins are configured to cause a conveyance path of the tape from the tape spool to the first guide to be curved, and guide the tape to the first guide along the conveyance path.

An adjusting method for a printing apparatus includes a head configured onto perform printing on a medium, a winding shaft configured to wind thereon the transported medium, a shaft adjustment mechanism configured to adjust a position of the winding shaft, and a notification part configured to provide a notification, the method including a printing step for printing a scale onto the medium, a transporting step for transporting the scale to the winding shaft, an image-capturing step for image-capturing the scale, which is transported to the winding shaft, at two different locations of the medium in a direction along an axis of the winding shaft, a notification step for providing to the notification part a notification about a result based on a captured image of the scale, and an adjustment step for adjusting a position of the winding shaft in accordance with a result notified to the notification part.

A tape cassette that includes a box-shaped cassette case whose outline being defined by a bottom wall, a top wall, and a side wall and including a plurality of corner portions, at least one tape contained within a tape containment area defined within the outline, a pair of cavities extending from the bottom wall and being provided between the tape containment area and the outline at opposite ends of a diagonal line connecting one of the corner portions to another of the corner portions, and a side face indicator portion provided in the side wall, indicating a type of the tape, and including a plurality of indicator portions disposed in a pattern in accordance with the type of the tape, each of the indicator portions being one of a switch hole and a surface portion.

According to one example there is provided a method of adjusting a support structure. The method comprises obtaining a reference orientation of the support structure when the support structure is positioned in a reference position. The height of the support structure is adjusted to a predetermined position and the orientation of the support structure is adjusted such that the orientation of the support structure when in the predetermined position is substantially the same as the reference orientation.
