Print speed determination based on a power budget

摘要

A printing system including a print mechanism to print on a print medium; and a control unit coupled to the print mechanism. The control unit is to determine a page speed for the print medium based on a power budget value of a power supply and to cause the print mechanism to move the print medium through the printing system at the determined page speed.

1. A printing system, comprising:
a print mechanism to print on a print medium; and a control unit coupled to the print mechanism, the control unit to:
determine, for each of a plurality of power supply power budgets, each power budget having a different size energy window, an enemy value for the energy window of that particular power supply power budget;convert each energy value to a calculated power value;determine a print speed for the print medium based on a comparison of the calculated power value for each power budget to a corresponding power supply power budget value; andcause the print mechanism to move the print medium through the printing system at the determined print speed.
