PRINTING DEVICE SUPPLY COMPONENT
In some examples, a supply component for a printing device includes a memory device comprising a plurality of corrective data to produce a corresponding plurality of color tables each customized for a respective media type of a plurality of media types, wherein a respective corrective data of the plurality of corrective data corresponds to nodes of a reference color table for the printing device that is able to accept the plurality of media types for printing. The respective corrective data includes a plurality of residual values to transform the nodes of the reference color table to a customized color table for use with a selected media type of the plurality of media types.
COLOR TABLE COMPRESSION
In some examples, a print cartridge includes a memory device comprising quantized coefficients derived from a lossy compression, at a selected step size, of a difference color table including a plurality of difference nodes in which each difference node represents a difference value that is a difference of a value of a node of a color table and a value of a corresponding node of a reference table, the quantized coefficients useable to produce a reconstructed difference color table including a first set of difference nodes each representing a difference value that is within an error threshold at the selected step size, and a second set of difference nodes each representing a difference value that is outside an error threshold at the selected step size. The memory device further comprises corrective information to correct the second set of difference nodes of the reconstructed difference color table.
COLOR TABLE COMPRESSION
In some examples, a print cartridge includes a memory device comprising quantized coefficients derived from a compression of a difference table including a plurality of difference nodes in which each difference node represents a value that is a difference of a value of a node of a color table and a value of a corresponding node of a reference table, the quantized coefficients useable to produce a reconstructed difference table, and a plurality of residue nodes in which each residue node represents a value that is a difference of a value of a node of the color table and a value of a corresponding node of the reconstructed difference table.
Reading device and image forming apparatus
A reading device and an image forming apparatus. The reading device includes a reader disposed at a scanning position, the reader being configured to read an image formed on a surface of a sheet, a movement mechanism to move the reader between the scanning position and a separated position away from the scanning position, and a reference plate disposed at a first position facing a reading face of the reader, the reference plate being configured to obtain a reference value to be used when the reader reads the image. In the reading device, the reference plate rotates around an axis from a second position facing a side of the reader to the first position or from the first position to the second position in conjunction with movement of the reader from the scanning position to the separated position by the movement mechanism The image forming apparatus includes the reading device.
DISPLAY DEVICE, DOCUMENT READING DEVICE, AND IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS
A display device includes a non-translucent cover, a light source provided inside the cover, and a translucent light display that is transmissive to light from the light source. The light display has a protrusion disposed in a through opening of the cover. The protrusion fitted into the through opening from the inside spans a first side surface and a second side surface of the cover, and protrudes outward from the outer surface of the cover to form a light guide. The light guide has a smaller thickness in a corner portion corresponding to a connection region between the first side surface and the second side surface than in other portions thereof.
IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS
An image forming apparatus includes: a first housing; a second housing that is supported above the first housing; a mounting part that is provided at at least one of the first housing and the second housing; and a detachable part that is disposed across the first housing and the second housing, the detachable part being mounted detachably with respect to the mounting part and being attachable and detachable in an attaching-detaching direction that connects one side surface and another side surface of the first housing.

In the reading device, the reference plate rotates around an axis from a second position facing a side of the reader to the first position or from the first position to the second position in conjunction with movement of the reader from the scanning position to the separated position by the movement mechanism The image forming apparatus includes the reading device.
IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS
An image forming apparatus for forming an image on a recording medium, the image forming apparatus includes a discharge tray for supporting the recording medium, an internal unit disposed inside the apparatus main body, and a door serving as a part of outer surface members of the apparatus main body, the door being opened and closed to expose and cover an inside of the apparatus main body to the outside, wherein, by opening of the door, a fixing member that fixes the discharge tray to the apparatus main body is exposed to the outside, and removing of the fixing member from the apparatus main body allows the discharge tray to be detached from the apparatus main body without removing the outer surface members other than the door, and wherein detaching of the discharge tray from the apparatus main body allows the internal unit to be accessed.
IMAGE READING APPARATUS AND RECORDING APPARATUS
An image reading apparatus includes a scanner unit configured to read a document, a document feed unit provided above the scanner unit and configured to feed the document and read the fed document, a first substrate configured to control an operation of the scanner unit, and a second substrate configured to control an operation of the document feed unit, wherein the first substrate and the second substrate are provided in a substrate placement section of the document feed unit.
SCANNER AND LOAD BEARING STRUCTURE THEREOF
A scanner is provided and includes a load bearing element, a scan assembly, a transparent plate and a casing. The load bearing element includes a support element and a base. The support element is disposed on the base and surrounds the base. The scan assembly is configured to perform a scan operation and is disposed on the base. The transparent plate is disposed on the support element and is configured to bear an object. The casing includes a first casing part and a second casing part. The second casing part includes a bottom plate and at least one cylinder. The at least one cylinder is disposed on the bottom plate. The load bearing element is disposed on the at least one cylinder, and is located between the first casing part and the second casing part. A first buffer space is formed between the base and the bottom plate.
