Patent number: 10792923Abstract: Certain examples described herein relate to calibrating a cleaning element for a printhead. A print medium sensor is aligned with a nozzle plane of the printhead to detect displacement, during a print job, of a print medium out of the nozzle plane. Relative movement between the cleaning element and the printhead is enacted. During this movement, activation of the print medium sensor is detected. A reference position for the cleaning element is stored based on the detected activation.Type: GrantFiled: October 27, 2017Date of Patent: October 6, 2020Assignee: Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.Inventors: Francesc Tarrida Tirado, Marc Lupon Navazo, Alejandro Mielgo Barba
