Abstract:
In an example, a printer controller is coupled to a fluid pump, a primer pump, and a pressure sensor of a printer, wherein a flow channel provides a fluid communication between the fluid pump and the printhead for enabling fluid recirculation in the printer. The printer controller: activates the fluid pump; activates the primer pump for a first predefined time interval; and identifies or determines a movement of fluid in the flow channel based on the fluid pressure measured by the pressure sensor.
