Abstract:
Disclosed herein is a mobile printer freefall detection and protection mechanism. Printers may be subject to vibration or free fall during printing. This is more likely to happen for a mobile printer. In such cases, the printing performance will be adversely affected a lot or a thermal printhead (TPH) in the printer could be damaged. This disclosure describes a system and method of solving this problem by measuring the G-forces at using at least one sensor to determine if it is safe to start operation again.

Claim (Index 1):
An imaging forming apparatus, comprising:\n a thermal printhead configured to operate in a first position; at least one sensor configured to detect an aspect of motion of the imaging system and output a signal; and a controller to halt operation of the thermal printhead when the signal is above a predetermined threshold. and to move the thermal printhead to the first position to resume operation when the signal is below a second predetermined threshold.
