Abstract
Examples disclosed herein relate to an imaging device. Examples include a method for increasing the temperature of the imaging device by determining an internal temperature of the imaging device; determining if a start-up routine is to be initiated; pausing the start-up routine if the internal temperature is below a threshold temperature; and energizing at least one of a fan or heating element of the imaging device when the internal temperature is below the threshold temperature.
Claims19
A non-transitory machine-readable storage medium comprising instructions executable by a processing resource to:
- determine if a start-up routine of an imaging device is to be initiated;
- acquire an internal temperature of the imaging device;
- determine if the internal temperature is below a first threshold;
- pause the start-up routine if the internal temperature is below the first threshold;
- acquire an external temperature of the imaging device if the internal temperature is below the first threshold;
- and
- initiate a fan of the imaging device to circulate external air into the imaging device if the internal temperature is below the first threshold and the external temperature is greater than the internal temperature.
An system to change a temperature of an imaging device, comprising:
- a consumable detection engine to determine if a consumable is coupled to an imaging device;
- a temperature detection engine to acquire an internal temperature of a housing of the imaging device, the temperature control engine to determine if the internal temperature is less than a first threshold;
- a start-up pause engine to pause a start-up routine if the internal temperature is less than the first threshold;
- and
- a temperature control engine to initiate a fan of the imaging device to circulate external air into the imaging device if the internal temperature is less than the first threshold and an external temperature of the imaging device is greater than the internal temperature.
A method for heating an imaging device, comprising:
- determining an internal temperature of the imaging device and an external temperature of the imaging device;
- determining if a start-up routine is to be initiated;
- pausing the start-up routine if the internal temperature is below a threshold temperature;
- and
- energizing a fan of the imaging device to circulate external air into the imaging device when the internal temperature is below the threshold temperature and the external temperature is greater than the internal temperature.
