Conditioners

A conditioner comprising:

• a pressure roller assembly;
• a heating element to heat the pressure roller assembly;
• a drive motor to rotate the pressure roller assembly;
• an AC inlet to receive AC power to power the heating element and the drive motor;
• a current sensor to sense a current through the AC inlet;
• and
• a controller to turn off the heating element in response to detecting a sensed current outside a predetermined range based on an operating state of each of the heating element and the drive motor.

A method for operating a printer, the method comprising:

• monitoring a plurality of print media sensors to sense the movement of print media through a printer;
• sensing a current through an AC inlet providing power to components of the printer;
• monitoring a plurality of door sensors on doors providing access to the components of the printer;
• monitoring a plurality of temperature sensors of a conditioner and a dryer of the printer;
• and
• turning off the conditioner and the dryer in response to any one of detecting an anomaly in the sensed movement of the print media, sensing a current outside a predetermined range based on an operating state of each component, detecting an open door, or detecting a temperature outside a predetermined range based on an operating state of each of the conditioner and the dryer.
