Print conditioner

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium comprising a set of instructions executable by a processor to:

• determine a print parameter of a print job;
• cause a medium to move along a print path of a printing device at a first transport speed, the print path extending through a print engine for dispensing a printing substance on the medium and a conditioner for conditioning the medium after the printing substance is dispensed;
• determine a timing of the medium along the print path of the medium to arrive at a heated pressure roller assembly of the conditioner;
• and
• cause the heated pressure roller assembly to adjust to a second transport speed to move the medium through the heated pressure roller assembly in response to the print parameter and the timing of the medium to arrive at the heated pressure roller assembly,
• wherein the second transport speed is greater than the first transport speed.

A method of operating a printing system, comprising:

• determining print parameters of a print job prior to forming markings on a medium in a printing device;
• moving the medium along a print path of the printing device, the printing device including a print engine for dispensing a print substance on the medium and a conditioner for conditioning the medium after the print substance is dispensed;
• sensing a leading edge of the medium along the print path approaching a heated pressure roller assembly of the conditioner;
• and
• adjusting a transport speed of the heated pressure roller assembly to move the medium through the heated pressure roller assembly in response to the print parameters and the sensed leading edge of the medium approaching the heated pressure roller assembly,
• wherein adjusting the transport speed includes selectively increasing the transport speed.
