Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Systems and methods are provided for controlling a dryer of a printing system. The system comprises a controller and a sensor. The controller is operable to determine a speed of a web of print media traveling through a dryer, and to apply power to a heating element of the dryer based on a power profile that models a non-linear relationship between power applied to the heating element and speed of the web. The controller is further able to determine a type of media for the web, and to select the power profile based on the type of media.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
We claim: 1. A system comprising: a controller operable to determine a speed of a web of print media traveling through a dryer, and to apply power to a heating element of the dryer based on a power profile that models a non-linear relationship between power applied to the heating element and speed of the web, wherein the controller includes separate power profiles for different types of media, and the controller is further operable to determine a type of media for the web, and…
