Abstract
A printing device comprises a droplet generator for generating a droplet of printing fluid, a droplet detector for detecting a generated droplet of printing fluid, and a controller. The droplet detector is moveable along an axis. The controller is to cause the droplet detector to be positioned at a known location along the axis, cause the droplet generator to generate a droplet, receive a measurement signal from the droplet detector, and determine a location of the droplet generator based on the received measurement signal and the known location.
