Abstract:
A system, method, and apparatus for adjusting dry ink concentration in a developing station () of a printer is disclosed. The adjustment is performed by calculating the thermal drift of a dry ink monitor () and applying the result as a compensating factor in calculations in a software algorithm. The dry ink monitor () has a sensing port () in contact with a dry ink concentration and is connected to a dry ink monitor interface board () that houses a temperature sensor (). The monitor interface board () is positioned in proximity to the dry ink monitor () to enable the temperature sensor () to measure a temperature of the dry ink concentration. The software algorithm is used to adjust the dry ink concentration based on a slope coefficient calculated by the printer based on outputs from the dry ink monitor () and the dry ink monitor interface board ().
