A printer includes: a carriage which moves with a print head mounted thereon, the print head being configured to eject ink; a camera attached to the carriage and configured to capture an image printed on a print medium by the print head; a movement mechanism configured to move the carriage along a main scan direction; a transportation mechanism configured to transport the print medium along a sub-scan direction; a processor configured to control printing of the image onto the print medium; and a storage configured to store a correction value of a movement amount of the movement mechanism as a first correction value for a location adjustment of a capture area of the camera and store a correction value of a transportation amount of the transportation mechanism as a second correction value for the location adjustment of the capture area.

In some examples, a system includes a device support to receive a fluid dispensing device, and a controller to identify, based on data controlling activation of fluidic actuators, a fluidic actuator that is to be activated in a first activation cycle of a group of activation cycles that correspond to activation intervals of respective fluidic actuators of a group of fluidic actuators of the fluid dispensing device, the identified fluidic actuator being part of the group of fluidic actuators. To perform a sense measurement for the identified fluidic actuator, the controller suppresses activation of the identified fluidic actuator in the first activation cycle, and causes activation of the identified fluidic actuator in a sense measurement cycle different from the first activation cycle, the sense measurement cycle being part of the group of activation cycles.
