    摘要: A printhead is disclosed, which can speed up transfer of image data and driving of printing elements without increasing the number of signal lines and connection terminals. An image data signal (DATA) supplied to the printhead has a 4-bit bus format containing block selection data in its head. This signal is separated by a selection signal (SEL), and only the block selection data contained in the head is held in a latch (4) and supplied to a decoder (5). The 4-bit image data corresponding to the four subsequent segments are respectively held in the four latches of a first printing control unit (8).

    摘要: In a printing apparatus which performs printing by using a printhead having a printing element unit for performing printing and a memory , the control circuit of the printing apparatus main body outputs a command for acquiring specific information from information held by the memory block. Upon reception of this command, the command control unit of a carriage control unit generates an access signal containing an address for reading out information designated by the command from the memory block. The command control unit accesses the memory block by the access signal, and acquires specific information corresponding to the command from the memory block.
