Examples herein provide a method. The method includes preconditioning a printing apparatus, including: increasing a temperature of an inkjet printhead in a print zone in the printing apparatus to a first temperature higher than or equal to about a steady state printhead temperature; and increasing a temperature of the print zone such that a portion of a print medium disposed over a portion of a platen in the print zone is at a second temperature higher than or equal to about a steady state print zone temperature. The method further includes disposing, using the printhead, an ink at the steady state printhead temperature onto the portion of the print medium to form an image thereon.

Printing apparatuses

A printer is disclosed. The printer has a media control system to control the tension in media loaded in a paper path in the printer. A motor in the media control system is characterized to determine a plurality of motor characteristics. The media control system uses the motor characteristics to adjust the control signal to the motor.

Motor characterization in a printer

Network streams and a method for encapsulating media packets having data therein into the network streams. The network streams includes a base layer stream and an enhancement layer stream. Base-layer media packets are encapsulated into the network packets of the base layer stream, wherein each network packet of the base layer stream includes one, and no more than one, corresponding base-layer media packet. Enhancement-layer media packets are encapsulated into the network packets of the enhancement layer stream, wherein a first portion and a second remaining portion of any enhancement-layer media packet may be respectively included in successive network packets of the enhancement layer stream in order to have each network packet of the enhancement layer stream filled to a constant number of bits that does not exceed a maximum number of bits. The media packets are, but not limited to, video packets or audio packets.

Packetization of layered media bitstreams

Unique patterns of glyphs are represented within blocks. Each pattern identifies a unique position on a unit of print media. Moreover, a desired current position for any given glyph or subset of glyphs can be derived from captured portions of different ones of the unique patterns. The unique patterns are outputted for subsequent delivery to instances of the unit of print media.
