Control of heating elements for media conditioners

A media conditioner comprising:

• a conveying component to convey sheets of printable media;
• a heating element to heat the conveying component;
• a temperature sensor to measure a temperature of the conveying component;
• a media sensor to detect the sheets of printable media;
• and
• a controller to provide a power level to the heating element,
• wherein, based on temperature data from the temperature sensor, the controller is to maintain the temperature of the conveying component at a temperature set-point by varying the power level,
• wherein the temperature set-point is set to a pre-established value, and
• wherein the controller is to selectively control power level based on a time-spacing between sequential sheets in the sheets of printed media as detected using the media sensor, without altering the temperature set-point.
