Abstract
Fluidic usage data over time is received from a printing device. A profile governing servicing maintenance of fluidic printhead nozzles of the printing device is determined based on the received fluidic usage data over time. The profile is transmitted to the printing device. The printing device performs spit-wipe-prime operations on the fluidic printhead nozzles according to the profile.
Claims15
A non-transitory computer-readable data storage medium storing program code executable by a processor to perform processing comprising:
- receiving fluidic usage data over time from a printing device;
- determining a profile governing servicing maintenance of fluidic printhead nozzles of the printing device, based on the received fluidic usage data over time;
- and
- transmitting the profile to the printing device, the printing device performing spit-wipe-prime operations on the fluidic printhead nozzles according to the profile.
1 more element
A method comprising:
- receiving, from a printing device, fluidic usage data and environmental data over time;
- selecting a profile governing servicing maintenance of fluidic printhead nozzles of the printing device from a plurality of a preconstructed profiles, based on the received fluidic usage data and environmental data over time;
- and
- transmitting the profile to the printing device, the printing device performing spit-wipe-prime operations on the fluidic printhead nozzles according to the profile.
1 more element
A printing device comprising:
- a fluid-ejection printhead having fluidic printhead nozzles;
- a service station to which the fluid-ejection printhead is moved to perform spit-wipe-prime operations to maintain and service the fluidic printhead nozzles;
- a processor;
- and
- a memory storing program code executable by the processor to:
- transmit fluidic usage data regarding the fluid-ejection printhead to a computing device;
- receive from the computing device a profile governing servicing maintenance of the fluidic printhead nozzles determined based on the fluidic usage data;
- and
- perform the spit-wipe-prime operations according to the profile.
