Classification: CPC G  B | IPC G

Claim 8:
9. A system for automatically diagnosing one or more media handling defects on a sheet subjected to one or more printer conveyance operations, the system comprising:
one or more computer processors;
one or more computer readable storage media;
a printing device including an image capturing device; and,
program instructions stored on the one or more computer readable storage media for execution by at least one of the one or more computer processors, the program instructions comprising:
program instructions to receive a first image of a first sheet subjected to a printer conveyance operation from the image capturing device;
program instructions to analyze the first image to determine whether a media handling defect is present on the processed first sheet as a result of the one or more printer conveyance operations;
program instructions to determine that the first image includes a detected media handling defect associated with the one or more printer conveyance operations;
where it is determined that a media handling defect is present on the processed first sheet as a result of the one or more printer conveyance operations, program instructions to compare the detected media handling defect on the processed first sheet with one or more known media handling defects associated with the one or more printer conveyance operations stored in a database;
where the comparison results in a match between the detected media handling defect on the processed first sheet subjected to the one or more printer conveyance operations and the one or more known media handling defects associated with the one or more printer conveyance operations stored in the database; and,
program instructions to display a rectifying action,
wherein, the program instructions to determine that the detected media handling defect matches one or more known media handling defects in the database comprise program instructions to compare detected media handling defect signatures to known media handling defect signatures associated with the one or more printer conveyance devices, and,
wherein, the program instructions to compare the detected media handling defect signatures to the known media handling defect signatures comprise program instructions to compare the detected media handling defect signatures to elements of one or more printer conveyance device component maps.
