Abstract
According to an example, a method to wind media in an output roller downstream a media advance engine comprises advancing a medium for a determined medium length, collecting a first portion of the determined medium length at a first speed by rotating the output roller in a winding direction, and collecting a second portion of the determined medium length by rotating the output roller in a winding direction at a second speed, wherein the first speed is greater than the second speed.
Claims15
A method to wind media in an output roller downstream a media advance engine, the method comprising:
- advancing a medium for a determined medium length;
- collecting a first portion of the determined medium length at a first speed by rotating the output roller in a winding direction;
- and
- collecting a second portion of the determined medium length by rotating the output roller in a winding direction at a second speed, wherein the first speed is greater than the second speed.
A printing system comprising:
- a drive roller to advance a medium towards a print engine;
- an output roller downstream the drive roller to receive the medium;
- and
- a controller to:
- advance the medium for a determined medium length by a rotation of the drive roller;
- rotate the output roller in a winding direction at a first speed;
- and
- subsequently, rotate the output roller in the winding direction at a second speed, the second speed being lower than the first speed.
A computer-readable medium comprising instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause a system comprising a drive roller upstream an output roller to:
- determine a media advance of a medium engaged with the drive roller;
- rotate the output roller in a winding direction at a first speed to wind a portion of the media advance;
- and
- rotate the output roller in the winding direction at a second speed until a trigger event occurs,
- wherein the first speed is greater than the second speed.
