Claim:
1. A liquid droplet discharging apparatus comprising: a carriage that carries a discharger that discharges liquid droplets onto a medium; a support frame that supports the carriage in a manner in which the carriage is capable of reciprocating movement; a housing that supports the support frame; a position detector configured to detect a relative positional relationship between the support frame and the housing, the position detector including a rigid protrusion extending along a protruding direction from the housing toward the support frame and a deflectable member affixed to the support frame and accessible through a hole in the support frame, wherein the protrusion is positioned to pass through the hole and deflect the deflectable member along the protruding direction when the housing supports the support frame; and a controller that executes a warning process that displays a warning on a display if the position detector detects a change in the relative positional relationship between the support frame and the housing, and that does not execute the warning process if the position detector does not detect said change in the relative positional relationship.
