Abstract

An example method comprises identifying, by a processor, a gap in a housing of a printing apparatus and positioning an inlet of a conduit inside the housing proximate the gap. The inlet is fluidly connected to a fan, and the fan is powered to create a pressure differential across the housing to minimize the amount of air inside the housing being able to escape the housing via the gap.
