    Abstract: An example print apparatus is described as including a fuser roller, a pressure device that generates wear on a section of the fuser roller surface, and a wear detection engine that identifies a degree of wear on the surface of the fuser roller. An example fuser roller may include a tube, a heating element, and a plurality of layers having a detectable pattern. An example print apparatus may include a wear detection engine having an emitter, a detector, and a controller that identifies a wear pattern based on data provided by the detector in response to activation of the emitter and determines a degree of wear based on the identified wear pattern.

    Abstract: An apparatus includes a developer and an actuator moveable in response to an input stimulus during an image forming operation of an image forming device. The apparatus includes a clutch that is actuatable, during the image forming operation, by the actuator between an engaged position in which the clutch is engaged with a photoreceptor and a disengaged position in which the clutch is disengaged from the photoreceptor. The clutch when in the engaged position transfers a force of a photoreceptor drive assembly to the photoreceptor for moving the photoreceptor, and the clutch when in the disengaged position isolates the photoreceptor drive assembly from the photoreceptor.

    Abstract: An apparatus includes a developer and a photoreceptor, where the developer is to transfer a toner to the photoreceptor. The apparatus includes a housing that is moveable in an image forming device, and an actuator assembly engaged with the housing. The actuator assembly is actuatable between different states in response to control by the image forming device during an image forming operation of the image forming device, where a first state of the different states corresponds to the housing being at a first position that disrupts a transfer of the toner to a transfer member of the image forming device during the image forming operation, and a second state of the different states corresponds to the housing being at a second position that allows the transfer of the toner to the transfer member.

    Abstract: Example implementations provide a computer program product for authenticating a number of grouped product-packaging pairs, in which each product-packaging pair comprises a respective message, associated with a respective product, and a respective signature associated with the message; the computer program product comprising machine executable instructions arranged, when processed, to: read the product messages and the signatures from the grouped product-packaging pairs; determine and store bilinear computation results associated with each of the messages, and each of the signatures; and determine, from the stored bilinear computation results, whether or processed not at least one product-packaging pair of the number of grouped product-packaging pairs is authentic.

    Abstract: In some examples, a computing device can include a processing resource and a memory resource storing instructions to cause the processing resource to determine, for a print material supply to be shipped to a location, whether a thermal excursion is predicted to occur based on weather information for the location and shipping service information, determine, in response to the thermal excursion being predicted, whether an unsafe delivery of the print material supply is predicted to occur at the location, and in response to the unsafe delivery being predicted, cause thermal protection to be provided for the print material supply during shipment to the location.

    Abstract: In some examples, a computing device can include a processing resource and a memory resource storing instructions to cause the processing resource to determine, via an input, whether to sustainably process a print component associated with a printing device, determine, in response to a determination to sustainably process the print component a processing mechanism for the print component and a shipping location to ship the print component, and generate a shipping label for the print component associated with the shipping location.
