A data transmission apparatus transmits data relating to an image to be recorded on a recording medium to an ink-jet recording apparatus including a line-type ink-jet head which is formed with an ejection face having a plurality of ejection openings arranged in a matrix. A data generation unit included in the data transmission apparatus generates an image data block including a plurality of dot data lines each formed for each of the ejection openings. The dot data line is made up of a plurality of dot data elements corresponding to a plurality of dots arranged in a conveyance direction in the image to be recorded on the recording medium with an arrangement order of the plurality of dot data elements being according to an arrangement order of the corresponding dots in the conveyance direction. The data transmission apparatus further includes a data compression unit which compresses the image data block generated by the data generation unit, and a data transmission unit which transmits a compressed file generated by the data compression unit to the ink-jet recording apparatus.

A recording apparatus includes a feeding device for feeding a recording medium, recording heads arranged along a feeding direction and extending in a direction orthogonal to the feeding direction, and a control unit for controlling the recording heads, and including storage for storing printing cycle data for printing cycles. For each printing cycle the printing cycle data includes head drive data and head identifying data identifying each head in a corresponding positional relationship with the recording medium in the feeding direction. As the recording medium advances in the feeding direction, the number of heads identified by the head identifying data in a printing cycle changes over time. Also, the apparatus includes a drive unit for reading the printing cycle data associated with a corresponding printing cycle and drives each head identified by the head identifying data based on the head drive data corresponding to the printing cycle data.

An information processing apparatus with a hierarchized bus structure having a system bus connected to central processing units and cache memories and an I/O bus connected to I/O devices. In response to a DMA request from the I/O device, a memory controller connected to both buses and to a main memory compares previous snoop addresses stored in a buffer memory of the memory controller with a current address contained in the DMA request to check whether the current DMA request is coincident with the past snoop process. If the comparison indicates a coincident snoop process, a snoop access process request is inhibited to be output to the system bus and cache memory. With this operation, the number of snoop accesses for DMAs to the same block of the cache memory can be reduced and a time during which the system bus is occupied can be shortened, to thereby improve the system performance.

There is disclosed a data transmitting apparatus for transmitting data including a plurality of data elements, each of which is a bit sequence of a plurality of bits, and is of one of a plurality of kinds. At least one bit in the bit sequence of a first one of the kinds of data elements that most frequently occurs has the same value as a bit at a corresponding place in the bit sequence of a second one of the kinds of data elements that second most frequently occurs. The data transmitting apparatus includes a raw-data storing portion, a data-block generating portion, a data compressing portion, and a transmitting portion. The raw-data storing portion stores raw data as the data to be transmitted. The data-block generating portion generates, from the raw data stored in the raw-data storing portion, a data block, by rearranging the bit sequences of the data elements of the raw data such that bits at the same place in the respective bit sequences as each of the at least one bit are arranged in a series in the data block. The data compressing portion creates a compressed file by compressing the data block generated by the data-block generating portion. The transmitting portion transmits the compressed file created by the data compressing portion.

A recording apparatus includes a conveyor mechanism, a placer, a recording head, and a controller that controls the conveyor mechanism, the placer, and the recording head. The controller determines a desired speed, which is a desired value of a driving speed of a conveyor belt of the conveyor mechanism during a recording, to be either one of a predetermined first speed and a second speed lower than the first speed. The controller determines the desired speed for a first recording medium to be recorded based on a record command, to be the second speed.
