A surgical stapling system is disclosed that comprises a closure driver, a firing driver, and a control circuit. The control circuit is to set a firing force threshold, advance the closure driver, advance the firing driver, monitor a firing force as the firing driver is advanced, compare the firing force to the firing force threshold, and control movement of at least one of the closure driver or the firing driver based on results of the compare and a zone in which the firing driver is positioned.
