Abstract
A method includes identifying a sufficient amount of printing fluid for a printhead to print a current swath and determining whether the sufficient amount of printing fluid is equal to or greater than a volume threshold value based on at least a second printing fluid volume capacity of a second region. The method also includes providing an amount of time after printing a previous swath and prior to a completion of printing the current swath for a second region to be supplied with an additional amount of printing fluid from a first region in response to a determination that the sufficient amount of printing fluid is equal to or greater than the volume threshold value.
