Abstract
A method, a computer readable medium and an apparatus for modifying a printing process in response to an environmental condition received via a network. In the method, the environmental condition is received via the network and the printing process is modified in response to the environmental condition. In the computer readable medium, software embedded in the medium includes executable code to perform the above mentioned method. In the apparatus, a printing device is configured to apply a colorant to a print medium and a controller is configured to modify the printing device based on the environmental condition received via the network.
Claims12
A method comprising:
- receiving an environmental condition measurement via a network;
- modifying a printing process in response to the received environmental condition measurement, wherein the printing process comprises modulating a laser;
- receiving a print job;
- determining a set of instructions for the laser in response to the print job;
- correcting the set of instructions for the laser in response to the environmental condition measurement;
- and
- modifying the modulation of the laser according to the corrected set of instructions.
A computer readable medium on which is embedded computer software, the software comprising executable code for performing a method, the method comprising:
- receiving an environmental condition measurement via a network;
- and
- modifying a printing process in response to the received environmental condition measurement, wherein the printing process comprises modulating a laser;
- receiving a print job;
- determining a set of instructions for the laser in response to the print job;
- correcting the set of instructions for the laser in response to the environmental condition measurement;
- and
- modifying the modulation of the laser according to the corrected set of instructions.
An apparatus comprising:
- a printing device configured to apply a colorant to a print medium;
- and
- a controller configured to modify the printing device based on an environmental condition measurement received via a network.
