In an example, a print apparatus includes a controller and a printing unit. The controller may control the printing unit to print a media sheet with at least one indicia indicating an intended location of a fold line, wherein the media sheet is to be folded along the fold line. The controller may be to control the printing unit to print the at least one indicia to provide an offset gauge such that, when the media sheet is folded along a formed fold line, the indicia provides an indication of an offset between the intended location of the fold line and the formed fold line.

Printing indicia indicating an intended location of a fold line

A printing device is described in which there is a media guide that is arranged to guide a printable media substrate from an upstream media path towards an input of the printing device or away from an output of the printing device towards a downstream media path. The media guide is movable between a first position and a second position. In the first position the media guide is arranged to guide the printable media along a respective media path. In the second position, which is spaced apart from the first position, the media guide forms a buffer region into which a variable amount of media substrate can collect.

A method for nozzle health scanning including repositioning at least one moving platform at a synchronized speed for a drop detection sensor to scan nozzles in a set of nozzles firing, where the synchronized speed is based on a rate of firing from nozzles in the set of nozzles and a distance between the nozzles in the set of nozzles, and storing the health of the nozzles in a computer readable memory accessible by a machine.

Synchronized speed for nozzle health scanning

A print media feed system comprises: a drive unit configured to move a feed roller; a sensing unit configured to sense movement of a feed roller; a detection unit configured to detect movement of a pinch roller; and a controller arranged to control the drive unit using a gain parameter and signals provided by the detection unit and the sensing unit. If it is detected that the pinch roller is in a first position in which the pinch roller presses against the feed roller such that a print media is between the pinch roller and the feed roller, the gain parameter is set to a first value. If it is detected that the pinch roller is not in the first position, the gain parameter is set to a second value which is lower than the first value.
