1. A printer, comprising:
fan units to force air onto media during a printing operation, each of the fan units including:
a fan;a heater to heat air moved by the fan; anda temperature sensor positioned near an exhaust of the fan unit; and a controller to, in response to temperature values obtained from the temperature sensors, at least one of (1) dynamically adjust at least one of the fans or (2) dynamically adjust at least one of the heaters to maintain a substantially uniform temperature across a width of the media during the printing operation and to maintain a sum of air flow exiting the fans to be at a substantially constant value. |
