Image forming system and methods thereof

摘要

An image forming system and methods are disclosed. The methods include detecting an ambient temperature of an image forming system by a first thermal sense resistor disposed in a first printhead to obtain a first detected ambient temperature, detecting the ambient temperature of the image forming system by a second thermal sense resistor disposed in a second printhead to obtain a second detected ambient temperature, and determining a temperature difference between the first detected ambient temperature and the second detected ambient temperature of the image forming system by a temperature variation module.

1. A method of detecting defective printheads in an image forming system, the method comprising:
detecting an ambient temperature of an image forming system by a first thermal sense resistor disposed in a first printhead to obtain a first detected ambient temperature; detecting the ambient temperature of the image forming system by a second thermal sense resistor disposed in a second printhead to obtain a second detected ambient temperature; determining a temperature difference between the first detected ambient temperature and the second detected ambient temperature of the image forming system by a temperature variation module; comparing the temperature difference determined by the temperature variation module with a temperature parameter by a temperature comparison module; and identifying whether at least one of the first printhead and the second printhead is a defective candidate by a status identification module in response to a resultant comparison of the temperature comparison module.
