Abstract
An example method is described in which a property is measured associated with a vertical displacement of a supporting frame of a printing system, the printing system having a floating frame mounted on the supporting frame, and the floating frame comprising a position sensor of the printing system and a nozzle to eject a drop of print agent; an orientation of the floating frame is adjusted with respect to the supporting frame based on the measured property.
Claims13
A method comprising:
- measuring a property associated with a vertical displacement of a supporting frame of a printing system, the printing system having a floating frame mounted on the supporting frame, and the floating frame comprising a position sensor of the printing system and a nozzle to eject a drop of print agent;
- and
- adjusting an orientation of the floating frame with respect to the supporting frame based on the measured property,
- wherein the vertical displacement is associated with a movement of the supporting frame about a pitch axis and a roll axis of the supporting frame.

A printing system comprising:
- a floating frame movably attached to a supporting frame;
- the floating frame to carry a nozzle to eject a drop of print agent, and a position sensor;
- an inertial sensor indicative of vertical movement of the printing system;
- a processor to adjust a position of the floating frame relative to the supporting frame based on a reading of the inertial sensor;
- a first actuator to rotate the floating frame about a pitch axis;
- and
- a second actuator to rotate the floating frame about a roll axis, wherein the vertical displacement is associated with a movement of the supporting frame about the pitch axis and the roll axis of the supporting frame.

A vehicle comprising:
- a printing system having:
- a supporting frame;
- a floating frame connected to the supporting frame, the floating frame having a position sensor and a print head;
- a property sensor indicative of vertical acceleration of the printing system;
- a controller to control the arrangement of the floating frame with respect to the supporting frame based on a sensed vertical acceleration;
- and
- one or more wheels connected to the supporting frame, the one or more wheels to move the vehicle.
