Variable HFSI counter for the charging subsystem based on GOM (grains of moisture)

A system that facilitates adjusting a high-frequency service indicator (HFSI) counter increment as a function of local relative humidity in order to adjust corona device lifespan, comprising:

• a marking module comprising a high-frequency service indicator (HFSI) counter and a corona device;
• a humidity sensor;
• and
• a processor configured to:
• set an adjustment factor for each of a plurality of predefined humidity levels;
• identify a curve that defines the adjustment factors as a function of humidity level;
• identify a quadratic equation that defines the curve;
• receive humidity measurement information describing a local humidity level in the vicinity of a corona device;
• and
• upon receipt of the humidity measurement information, apply an adjustment factor that corresponds to a measured humidity level to an HFSI counter increment to adjust the HFSI counter increment.

A computer-implemented method for adjusting a high-frequency service indicator (HFSI) counter increment as a function of local relative humidity in order to adjust corona device lifespan, comprising:

• storing in non-volatile memory an adjustment factor for each of a plurality of predefined humidity levels;
• detecting a local relative humidity level in the vicinity of a corona device of printer;
• and
• periodically applying an adjustment factor that corresponds to a detected humidity level to an HFSI counter increment to adjust the HFSI counter increment.
