Abstract
Examples systems and methods of this disclosure include a threshold corresponding to a vapor density, and a circuit or method step to compare an incoming signal that corresponds to a detected vapor density with the threshold.
Claims16
A computer readable medium, storing
- a threshold corresponding to a vapor density, and
- instructions to
- compare an incoming signal that corresponds to a detected vapor density with the threshold, and
- intervene in a printer operation if the detected signal exceeds the threshold.
1 more element
A printer comprising
- an ink transfer device,
- a vapor sensor to detect a density of vapor that is released from transferred ink,
- a memory storing a threshold, and
- a control circuit to trigger a vapor control instruction if a detected vapor density exceeds the threshold.
1 more element
Method of printer vapor control, comprising
- transferring ink whereby vapor is released,
- detecting a density of the vapor,
- outputting a signal corresponding to the vapor density,
- comparing the signal with a threshold stored on a memory circuit, the threshold corresponding to a vapor density, and
- intervening in a printer operation if the detected vapor density exceeds the threshold.
