Abstract:
Systems and methods are provided for adaptive ink flushing of a printer. One embodiment is an apparatus that includes an adaptive ink flushing controller configured to obtain nozzle firing data for a nozzle of a printhead, to analyze the nozzle firing data to determine an inactive firing span of the nozzle, and, in response to determining that the inactive firing span of the nozzle exceeds a threshold, to transmit a firing instruction for ejecting ink.

Claim (Index 3):
The apparatus of  claim 2  wherein:\n the adaptive ink flushing controller is configured to initialize a count to a first counting value, to advance the count for each increment of time the nozzle does not eject ink, to reset the count to a second counting value if the nozzle firing data instructs the nozzle to activate prior to the count exceeding a threshold, and, if the count exceeds the threshold, to transmit the firing instruction for ejecting ink.
