Abstract:
1. A method of determining a delay value by an image forming system, the method comprising: transporting a media along a media transport path by a media transport unit; heating the media by a heating unit; providing a plurality of print passes across the media transport path by a print head assembly; applying ink to the media to form an image including a plurality of swaths by the print head assembly such that a respective swath is formed on the media corresponding to a respective print pass; detecting a temperature of the media by a temperature module to determine whether the detected temperature is outside of a target temperature range; determining a delay value by a delay determination module in response to a determination that the detected temperature is outside of the target temperature range; and providing a delay of an amount of time corresponding to the delay value prior to each moving of the print head assembly to perform the respective print pass by a control unit in response to the determination that the detected temperature is outside of the target temperature range.
