Abstract: The present invention generates voltage signals or driving waveforms to actuate driving elements of a print head according to the programmable generation method discussed below. The procedure first provides a first memory area and a second memory area, in which driving waveform data used to generate the driving waveforms are stored. Different sets of the driving waveform data are stored in the respective memory areas. The procedure selects a working memory area at a predetermined interval of selection and carries out arithmetic operations using the set of driving waveform data stored in the selected working memory area, so as to generate a driving waveform signal. The selective use of the working memory area enables the resulting driving waveform to be switched over at a high speed at the predetermined interval of selection. The two memory areas may be constructed by separate memory chips. This configuration enables a reading operation from one memory area to be carried out in parallel with a writing operation into the other memory area. The arrangement of the present invention attains the high-speed changeover of a working driving waveform among a diversity of driving waveforms, while preventing a significant increase in memory capacity.

Abstract: A shape of the drive signal within each one-pixel period of main scan is modified to have N different waveforms corresponding to N different values of the print signal, the N different values of the print signal representing formation of the N different dots. The N different waveforms of the drive signal are changed between the forward pass and the reverse pass. This will align the hitting positions of ink droplets in the main scanning direction during forward and reverse passes.

Abstract: A system includes a plurality of storage devices and a controller. The plurality of storage devices are bus-connected to one clock signal line and one data signal line connected to the controller. Each of the plurality of storage devices stores identification information in advance to distinguish the storage devices from each other. The controller transmits data using an identification information transmission period in which one storage device is selected from the plurality of storage devices by transmitting the identification information of the one storage device to the plurality of storage devices via the data signal line and a data transmission period in which the data is transmitted to the one selected storage device. A frequency of a clock signal during the identification information transmission period is set to be lower than a frequency of the clock signal during the data transmission period.

Abstract: The present invention provides a storage device that enables identification data to be readily rewritten and ensures normal completion of a data writing operation in a short time period. In the storage device of the invention, an ID comparator determines whether or not identification data transmitted from a host computer coincides with identification data stored in a memory array. In the case of coincidence, the ID comparator sends an access enable signal EN to an operation code decoder. The operation code decoder analyzes a write/read command, switches over a direction of data transfer with regard to the memory array based on a result of the analysis, and requires an I/O controller to change a high impedance setting of a signal line connecting with a data terminal DT. This series of processing allows access to an address in the memory array specified by a count on an address counter.
