Abstract: There is provided a maintenance apparatus to, while in a service zone, perform a cleaning operation of a set of printheads within a carriage. The maintenance apparatus comprises a cleaning structure and an actuation mechanism. The actuation mechanism is arranged to position the cleaning structure between an engaged configuration and a disengaged configuration. The disengaged configuration is activated by a first triggering element associated to the carriage interacting with the actuation mechanism subsequent to a cleaning operation. The engaged configuration is activated by a second triggering element as the carriage moves away from the service zone.

Abstract: Herein is described a method involving a drop detector. The method may comprise: ejecting ink drops from the nozzles on a printhead toward a drop detector. A drop characteristic may then be determined from the drop detector for each ink-jet nozzle. Drop characteristics for the nozzles across the printhead may be collated into a data set, and compared with a predetermined data set for a printhead having predetermined print behaviour to determine if and how the data sets differ in terms of the pattern of drop characteristics across the printheads. If the data sets differ, a recovery strategy may be selected based how the data sets differ in terms of the pattern of drop characteristics across the printheads. A system and computer readable medium are also described herein.

Abstract: There is disclosed a non-transitory machine-readable medium encoded with instructions executable by a processor and comprising instructions to: control print apparatus to print a test pattern 11 on a test region of a print medium 4; receive test data relating to the test pattern 11 printed on the print medium 4 from a sensor 8; analyse the test data with reference to baseline data to determine if the test pattern 11 satisfies a print quality criterion; output an instruction to operate the print apparatus in a first mode, in which a pre-printing treatment is not applied to the print medium, in response to determining that the test pattern 11 satisfies the print quality criterion, the pre-printing treatment comprising wiping a printing surface of the print medium with a wiper element 10, 20; and output an instruction to operate the print apparatus in a second mode, in which the pre-printing treatment is applied to the print medium 4, in response to determining that the test pattern 11 satisfies the print quality criterion.

Abstract: The present disclosure discloses a method implemented by a printer to control a fluid firing unit of a printhead, when said printhead is coupled to the printer, to operate according to any one of a normal printing mode and a recovery mode. According to the method, if the fluid firing unit is operated according to the normal printing mode, a first voltage is applied to the fluid firing unit to fire the fluid firing unit during a printing operation; and if the fluid firing unit is operated according to the recovery mode, a second voltage higher than the first voltage is applied to the fluid firing unit to clean the fluid firing unit.

Abstract: Examples include a method for operating a printing device comprising a specific pen. The method comprises receiving future specific pen firing data related to a plurality of upcoming successive print jobs and collecting historical specific pen firing data. The method further comprises determining a level and timing of servicing of the specific pen in function of both of the received future specific pen firing data and of the collected historical specific pen firing data.
