Abstract
In some examples, a system detects an error in an printing device, and selects a combination of a medium advance error correction process to address a medium advance error and a faulty nozzle correction process to address a faulty nozzle, where the selecting of the combination is from a plurality of different combinations of the medium advance error correction process and the faulty nozzle correction process, and the selecting is based on a criterion relating to an interaction between the medium advance error and faulty nozzle correction processes.
Claims15
A non-transitory machine-readable storage medium comprising instructions that upon execution cause a system to:
- detect an error in an printing device;
- and
- select a combination of a medium advance error correction process to address a medium advance error and a faulty nozzle correction process to address a faulty nozzle, wherein the selecting of the combination is from a plurality of different combinations of the medium advance error correction process and the faulty nozzle correction process, and the selecting is based on a criterion relating to an interaction between the medium advance error and faulty nozzle correction processes.
A system comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a non-transitory storage medium storing instructions executable on the processor to:
- detect an error in a printing device;
- and
- select a combination of a medium advance error correction process to address a medium advance error and a faulty nozzle correction process to address a faulty nozzle, wherein the selecting of the combination is from a plurality of different combinations of the medium advance error correction process and the faulty nozzle correction process, and the selecting is based on a criterion relating to an interaction between the medium advance error and faulty nozzle correction processes, and
- wherein the plurality of different combinations of the medium advance error correction process and the faulty nozzle correction process comprise:
- a first combination in which both the medium advance error and faulty nozzle correction processes are applied, and
- a second combination in which the medium advance error is not applied and the faulty nozzle correction process is applied.
A method of a system comprising a hardware processor, comprising:
- detecting a medium advance error in a printing device;
- detecting a faulty nozzle in the printing device;
- and
- electing to:
- not apply a medium advance error correction process to address the medium advance error, and
- apply a faulty nozzle correction process to address the faulty nozzle,
- wherein the electing is based on a determination by the system that an application of the medium advance error correction process would decrease an effectiveness of the faulty nozzle correction process.
