  • Printing device with media path flushing
    Patent number: 8379233
    Abstract: A printing device for use with a peripheral media-handling device defining a peripheral media path with a first sensor therealong including a print engine coupled with the peripheral media-handling device to accommodate conveyance of media therebetween, the print engine defining an engine media path between an inlet and an outlet thereof, and including a second sensor therealong, and a processor configured to calculate a greatest distance collectively along the media paths that media can travel without reaching one of the sensors, the processor being further configured to command substantially simultaneous flushing of the peripheral media-handling device and the print engine to advance media the calculated greatest distance.
