Abstract
A print system senses the type of a recording medium. The print system modifies the amount of marking material on an imaging drum when the sensed the recording medium type requires a modification to the amount of marking material on the imaging drum. Moreover, the print system changes a transfix parameter when the sensed the recording medium type requires a modification to the transfix parameter.
Claims20
A method for sensing a recording medium type and having a printing system response thereto, comprising:
- (a) sensing the type of a recording medium;
- (b) determining if an amount of marking material required for the sensed recording medium type equals an amount of marking material on an imaging drum;
- and
- (c) modifying the amount of marking material on the imaging drum when it is determined that the amount of marking material required for the sensed recording medium type is not equal to the amount of marking material on an imaging drum.
A method for sensing a recording medium type and having a printing system response thereto, comprising:
- (a) sensing the type of a recording medium;
- (b) determining if a predetermined parameter of the printing system required for the sensed recording medium type equals a current predetermined parameter of the printing system;
- and
- (c) modifying the current predetermined parameter of the printing system when it is determined that the predetermined parameter of the printing system required for the sensed recording medium type is not equal to the current predetermined parameter of the printing system.
A print system, comprising:
- a recording medium type sensor to sense the type of a recording medium;
- an imaging drum;
- and
- a controller to determine if an amount of marking material required for the sensed recording medium type equals an amount of marking material on said imaging drum;
- said controller causing the amount of marking material on the imaging drum to be modified when said controller determines that the amount of marking material required for the sensed recording medium type is not equal to the amount of marking material on an imaging drum.
