Disclosed herein is a mobile printer freefall detection and protection mechanism. Printers may be subject to vibration or free fall during printing. This is more likely to happen for a mobile printer.In such cases, the printing performance will be adversely affected a lot or a thermal printhead (TPH) in the printer could be damaged. This disclosure describes a system and method of solving this problem by measuring the G-forces at using at least one sensor to determine if it is safe to start operation again. 本发明涉及用于主动打印连贯性控制和损伤保护的系统和方法。本文公开的是种移动打印机自由落体探测和保护机制。打印机在打印过程中可能受到振动和自由下落的影响。对于移动打印机来说这更可能发生。在这种情况下，会非常不利地影响打印性能或者打印机的热打印头（TPH）可能受损。本公开描述的系统和方法通过使用至少个传感器测量G力以确定再次启动操作是否安全来解决这问题。
