Abstract:
In an example, a printhead maintenance apparatus includes a pump, a current monitor and processing circuitry. The pump may be provided to increase a pressure in a printhead, and the current monitor may monitor a current consumption of the pump. The processing circuitry may determine a rate of change of current consumption of the pump, and compare the rate of change of current consumption to a predetermined threshold.
