Sensor logic state detections
View Patent ↗Examples described herein relate to system and methods consistent with the disclosure. For instance, the imaging system comprises a tray to receive print media, a first sensor to detect a first printing event in the imaging system, a second sensor to detect a second printing event in the imaging system, and a processing resource to determine if the first sensor detected a first printing event, based on the first sensor detecting print media reaching or dropping below a threshold level in the tray, set a logic state based on determining if the first sensor detected the first printing event, maintain the set logic state responsive to the determination that the first sensor detected the first printing event until the second printing event is detected by the second sensor.
1 . A method comprising:
activating a dynamic state for a first sensor responsive to an activation of an imaging system, wherein the dynamic state allows the first sensor to transition between logic states;
determining if the first sensor is in a first logic state or a second logic state based on a level of print media in a tray responsive to the activation of the imaging system;
detecting a first printing event indicating a limit on a flow of print media out of the tray;
locking the first sensor in a current logic state subsequent to the detection of the first printing event, wherein the current logic state is the logic state of the first sensor subsequent to the detection of the first printing event; and
removing the lock, related to the first printing event, on the first sensor responsive to detecting a second printing event by a second sensor.
2 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising determining if the first sensor is in the first logic state or the second logic state based on the level of print media in the tray responsive to removal of the lock on the first sensor.
3 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
detecting an additional first printing event from a third sensor;
locking the first sensor in the current logic state subsequent to the detection of the additional first printing event; and
removing the lock, related to the additional first printing event, on the first sensor responsive to detecting an additional second printing event related to the additional first printing event, wherein removing the lock places the first sensor in the dynamic state.
4 . The method of claim 3 , further comprising detecting the additional second printing event by the second sensor or the third sensor.
5 . The method of claim 3 , further comprising determining if the first sensor is in the first logic state or the second logic state based on the level of print media in the tray responsive to removing the lock, related to the first printing event and the additional first printing event, on the first sensor.
6 . The method of claim 5 , further comprising detecting the first printing event and the additional first printing event at a substantially same time.
