ACTUATOR FAULT INDICATION VIA WIRES ALONG BUSSES

In one example in accordance with the present disclosure, a fluidic die is described. The fluidic die includes an array of fluid actuators. Wires are disposed at various points along at least one of a supply bus and a return bus that are coupled to the actuators in the array. The wires output a voltage level at a corresponding point of the respective bus. At least one comparator compares a voltage of a selected wire against a voltage threshold. At least one fault capture device to output a signal indicating a fault based on the output of the at least one comparator.

An image forming apparatus includes a main CPU 70. During an unused period in which the image forming apparatus is not used, the main CPU 70 detects, based on the output of a first operation detection sensor, the presence of a first operation, which is an operation that causes a concern that consumable items or the like may be stolen. When the main CPU 70 detects the first operation, theft alert audio which indicates that there is a concern that consumable items or the like may be stolen is output from a speaker. Also, the main CPU 70 transmits an email to a pre-registered destination which includes a theft alert message, which indicates that there is a concern that consumable items or the like may be stolen.

PROCESSING SYSTEM

A processing system including an inkjet printer that performs printing on a workpiece according to print data associated with a jig ID that indicates the type of jig, and a jig having a jig ID indicating its type that supports the workpiece and is set in the inkjet printer acquires the jig ID from the jig (S61), and notifies incompatibility between the print data and the jig when the jig ID associated with the print data, and the jig ID acquired from the jig in S61 do not match (NO in S63) (S64).

Tape cassette

A tape cassette includes: a cassette casing; and a tape roll that is a roll of a tape extending in a lengthwise direction and a widthwise direction. The tape includes: a subject surface exposed in a thickness direction; and a first image provided on the subject surface and indicating first information. The tape roll has: a first end portion located at an inner portion of the tape roll in a radial direction of the tape roll; and a second end portion located at an outer portion of the tape roll in the radial direction. The first information relates to an amount of a portion of the tape which is located on a first-end-portion-side of a reference position in the lengthwise direction. The reference position is located on the first-end-portion-side of the first image in the lengthwise direction on the tape at a particular distance from the first image.

IMAGE RECORDING APPARATUS
20200122475 · 2020-04-23 ·

The image recording apparatus has a head, a tank, a case that receives a cartridge, and a controller. When the cartridge is installed in the case of the image recording apparatus, the liquid in the cartridge flows to the tank by a difference between a liquid level in the cartridge and a liquid level in the tank. The controller controls a display to display a first notification indicating an ink cartridge based on receiving a first signal output from a sensor when a liquid level in an ink chamber reached a specific position. The controller, after receiving the first signal from the sensor, counts a count value indicating an amount of discharged liquid from the head. Further, the controller, in response to the count value reaching a first threshold, controls the display to display a second notification.
