Abstract: A method, apparatus, and computer program product are described herein for controlling a printing device. In an example embodiment, a print line is divided into frames and frame dot states are determined based on neighboring frame dot states. Maximum motor speeds of the printing device may be adjusted so that actual motor speeds change gradually during printing. The print engine may detect a printhead type by sending a signal to the printhead and receiving a response.

Abstract: Systems, methods, apparatuses, and computer readable media are disclosed for over-determining location estimations for an asset based on location estimates from a plurality of tags. Examples employ a spatial association model in a location system. Examples include a method for processing location information received from a radio frequency (RF) location tag. The method includes determining a first location of a first RF location tag associated with an asset, determining at least one second location of at least one second RF location tag associated with the asset, determining, using a processor, that the first location is not a valid location based at least in part on a comparison of the first location with the at least one second location using a spatial association model associated with the asset, and identifying the first location as erroneous in response to determining that the first location is not a valid location.

Abstract: Systems, methods, apparatuses, and computer readable media are disclosed for improving, in some examples, reference in a location system. In one embodiment, a method is provided comprising: receiving reference tag blink data from a plurality of receivers; calculating, using a processor, a reference phase offset between the plurality of receivers; and generating a suspended reference phase offset table, wherein a suspended reference phase offset table is generated by causing the reference phase offset to be stored in a memory for later tag location calculations.
