Claim Text:
1. A method of determining suitable operating conditions for printing sheets in a printing system, comprising a controller performing the steps of: introducing a first sheet into the printing system; selecting a first level for a physical operating condition of the printing system; exposing the first sheet to the physical operating condition of the printing system at the first level to treat the first sheet; sensing a surface geometry of a surface of the exposed first sheet to generate first height map data representing a height map of the surface of the exposed first sheet for the first level of the operating condition; introducing a second sheet into the printing system; selecting a second level for the physical operating condition of the printing system; exposing the second sheet to the physical operating condition of the printing system at the second level to treat the second sheet; sensing a surface geometry of a surface of the exposed second sheet to generate second height map data representing a height map of the surface of the exposed second sheet for the second level of the operating condition; comparing the first height map data and the second height map data to determine a suitable level of the operating condition of the printing system; and selecting the determined suitable level as a printing setting for the operating condition of the printing system.
