Examples described herein generally relate to a display device and computing device where a display is configured for displaying images, a display controller is configured for receiving image data via a display port when coupled to a computing device, and sending signals to the display, based on the image data, to cause the display to display the images, and a memory is accessible by the display controller for storing a resume image received from the computing device. The display controller is further configured for detecting a power on event, accessing the memory to obtain the resume image, and sending signals to the display to cause display of the resume image based at least in part on detecting the power on event.

Techniques for storing and displaying an image on a display device

A display has a capture mode. A camera is included in the display. A first region of the display including a field of view (FOV) of the camera may be dimmed during the capture mode. A second region of the display is outside the FOV. At least part of the second region is not dimmed during the capture mode.

Camera included in display

A method for forming an optical disc includes forming a first disc portion, forming a second disc portion, coupling the first disc portion to the second disc portion, wherein forming the first disc portion includes forming a data recording layer, and wherein forming the second disc portion includes forming a material layer including a plurality of embossed features having a depth of approximately &#xbc;&#x3bb; for optimized encoder compatibility, where &#x3bb; is the wavelength of a light source being used to sense the embossed features.

Disclosed are systems and methods for organizing images. In one embodiment, a system and a method pertain to analyzing images, detecting attributes of the images, comparing the detected attributes to identify images having a similar attribute, and associating images having the similar attribute to automatically generate an attribute-based album.

System and method for organizing images

An auxiliary print media tray or cartridge forms part of a print media handling system that provides for holding two discrete supplies of print media in a manner that permits the user to select printing media from one supply or another, without the need for first emptying either of the supplies. The print media is oriented in a manner such that both supplies engage a common media feed mechanism, such as pick and feed rollers. As a result, a printer that employs two discrete media supplies is provided without the increased manufacturing cost or size that would otherwise be required if duplicate pick and feed rollers (or related components) were employed. One embodiment of the present invention is particularly adapted for holding in an auxiliary tray a supply of relatively small print media, such as photo-type paper that is popular as a medium upon which high-quality digital images may be printed.

Auxiliary print media tray for printer

A metering roller and feed guide are included in a desktop printer between a first roller and a print zone. During first side printing, a media sheet is fed along the first roller and directed by an upper feed guide over the refeed guide to a second roller. The metering roller feeds the media sheet through the print zone. As the trailing edge approaches a metering pinch line, the metering roller stops. After a drying time, the second roller reverses direction moving the media sheet back toward the refeed guide. The refeed guide blocks the original path and directs the media sheet toward a repick guide and the first roller. The media sheet is fed onto the first roller for second side printing. In one embodiment the media sheet is wrapped around the first roller and unwrapped into the input tray during the refeed process to accommodate long media sheets.

Media handling system for duplex printing

A printer mechanism to control pen-to-print medium spacing during printing is described. The preferred embodiment of the mechanism includes a printhead and an adjacent platen. The platen includes differentially yieldable structure adapted to resiliently support the print medium thereby to inhibit uncontrolled bending of the print medium during printing. The yieldable structure preferably extend along a line generally perpendicular to a direction of feed of the print medium. The platen may further include a transition region located adjacent the yieldable structure, the transition region adapted to facilitate smooth transition of the leading edge of the print medium onto the yieldable structure.

A printer mechanism to control pen-to-print medium spacing during printing is described. The preferred embodiment of the mechanism includes a printhead and an adjacent platen, the printhead and the platen defining a print zone therebetween. The platen includes ribs adapted for contacting a lower surface of the print medium such that the print medium bends downwardly between the ribs, thereby reducing uncontrolled bending of the print medium in the print zone. The ribs preferably extend parallel to a direction of travel of the print medium and may be positioned adjacent a transition zone, the transition zone facilitating a smooth transition of a leading edge of the print medium onto the ribs.

Print medium handling system including cockle ribs to control

The present invention relates to a system for use in an ink-jet printer having a printhead and an opposing platen capable of movement toward and away from the printer's printhead to define a record media gap therebetween. The system is effective to selectively restrict movement of a printer's platen to effect adjustment of the record media gap upon detection of record media having a characteristic which warrants such a change. The system is provided with a detector capable of recognizing the characteristic, and with a stop mechanism which acts in concert with the detector to effect the desired change. In its nominal configuration, the stop mechanism limits movement of the platen at a first position so as to define a first record media gap. However, upon detection of record media having the characteristic, the stop mechanism is automatically reconfigured so as to allow movement of the platen to a second position defining a second record media gap.

Record media gap adjustment system for use in printers

The service station provides components for wiping and capping the orifice plate of an ink-jet pen that is installed in a printer that can carry more than one pen-type. Certain service station components are dedicated for use with only one type of pen and other components are dedicated for use with another type of pen, thereby avoiding ink contamination that may occur, where, for example, a single wiper is used to wipe pens of both type.
