摘要:
A fluid delivery system is controlled to adjust a release fluid delivery rate to a rate that is predetermined to be effective for fusing a next sheet in a print job before the sheet arrives at a fusing nip. Predetermined rates and corresponding media types may be stored in memory. A controller controls the fluid release system for a print job in accordance with a print job schedule based on the predetermined fluid delivery rates.

A method (200) and apparatus (100) control feed commitments based on feedable capacity. The apparatus may include a source (122) of feedable media sheets and a feeder module (120) coupled to the source of feedable media sheets, the feeder module configured to control the source of feedable media sheets. The apparatus may include a marking engine (132) coupled to the source of feedable media sheets, the marking engine configured to mark images on media sheets fed by the source of feedable media sheets. The apparatus may include a marker module (130) coupled to the marking engine, the marker module configured to control the marking engine. The apparatus may include a scheduler module (110) coupled to the feeder module and the marker module, the scheduler module configured to schedule feed commitments for the feeder module and mark commitments for the marker module. The feeder module may be configured to determine whether there will be a future low media sheet count based on comparing a predetermined number with an outstanding sheet feed commitment amount and may be configured to assert a break in feed commitments if there will be a future low media sheet count.

摘要:
A method for forming Braille images on a substrate comprising feeding a substrate to an inline digital coating apparatus; forming one or more Braille images on the substrate with the inline digital coating apparatus; wherein the inline digital coating apparatus forms the Braille image by coating an ultra-violet curable phase change ink composition comprising an optional colorant and a phase change ink vehicle comprising a radiation curable monomer or prepolymer; a photoinitiator; a reactive wax; and a gellant in a single pass to form the one or more Braille images; and curing the one or more Braille images.
