Abstract
In some examples, printing device performance analysis may include actuating a motor to operate a first separation tire of a printing device in a first rotary direction. The first separation tire may be operable adjacent to a second separation tire rotatable in a second rotary direction that is opposite to the first rotary direction to separate physical media. Printing device performance analysis may further include actuating the motor to operate the first separation tire in the second rotary direction, and determining whether a motor torque difference of the motor between the first and second rotary directions is greater than a predetermined threshold.
