Abstract
In an example of the disclosure, a printhead is caused to spit a liquid into a main cavity of a container. The container includes an overflow pocket for collecting liquid that has overflown from the main cavity. A sensor is caused to detect whether liquid is present in the overflow pocket. Responsive to sensor detection that liquid is present in the overflow pocket, a warning or instruction message is caused to be sent for user consumption.
