    Abstract: An Imaging device includes a print monitoring engine to monitor an ink level of an ink cartridge installed in the imaging device and track a print count for each ink level. The print count for each ink level indicates a number of prints printed during a one percent drop in the ink level. Further, a print capacity estimation engine is to determine an average print rate for the ink cartridge based on the print count for each one percent drop in ink level and determine a print capacity estimate of the ink cartridge based at least on the average print rate and the current ink level. Further, an Ink cartridge controlling engine is to deactivate the ink cartridge upon occurrence of a predetermined event and activate the deactivated ink cartridge in response to an activation input from a user, wherein the activation input is based on the print capacity estimate.

    Abstract: A printing device (102) comprises a plurality of feeder print trays (104) to hold print media to be used for printing. The printing device (102) further comprises a plurality of user input sensors (106), such that a user input sensor (106) is provided in proximity to each of the plurality of feeder print trays (104) to sense at least one user input provided by a user on an outer surface of a casing of the corresponding feeder print tray (104). Further, an input tray control module (108) is communicatively coupled to the plurality of input sensors (106). The input tray control module (108) correlates the user input as selection of the corresponding feeder print tray (104) and subsequently determines selection attributes corresponding to the user input. The input tray control module (108) further determines a tray control action to be initiated for the selected feeder print tray (104) based on the user input data and the selection attribute.

    Abstract: An example electronic device includes a sensor to detect a first code and initiate a first digital scan of a print medium; a scanner to perform the first digital scan of the print medium upon detection of the first code by the sensor; and a processor to correlate the first code with a first digital scan of the print medium; identify a second code detected by the sensor; detect a second digital scan of the print medium by the scanner; and compare the first code with the second code.

    Abstract: Examples to process print media (105) are defined herein. At least one marked cell from a plurality of cells (305) extending throughout a processed image of the print media (105) is detected. The processed image of the print media (105) may include marked portions (110) and unmarked portions (115). Further, the marked cell overlays a marked portion of the processed image. Once the marked cell is detected, the marked portions (110) of the print media (105) corresponding to the marked portions (110) of the processed image may be determined and separated from the print media (105) to provide a processed media (130) comprising the unmarked portions (115).

    Abstract: In one example of the disclosure, account data that is indicative of marking agent credits attributed to a printer is stored. The printer is a printer connected to a supply of marking agent. A marking agent credit is to authorize consumption of a credit amount of marking agent from the supply according to a subscription. A print job is received from a sponsor computing device. The account data is adjusted to add credits in an adjustment amount that is a function of marking agent consumption to print the job. The job is sent to the printer for printing.

    Abstract: In one example, a system is disclosed, which may include a recognition unit to obtain a user profile from a mobile device via a short-range wireless communication between the mobile device and the multi-functional device. Further, the system may include a retrieving unit to retrieve usage history associated with the user profile. Furthermore, the system may include a configuration unit to temporarily configure operational settings for the multi-functional device based on the usage history.
