摘要： This invention provides a low-cost, economical printing apparatus and printing system. For example, characteristic information of a printhead which is described, printed, adhered, or formed on a printhead or its accessory (e.g., a packaging paper box) in a format identifiable to human or an electronic device is man-machine-interactively inputted to a host or electronically inputted to the host by a barcode reader or the like. The printing apparatus discriminates whether or not a command sent from the host via an interface is a command that includes characteristic information of the printhead, and control is made to write the characteristic information of the print head into a non-volatile memory (EEPROM) in accordance with the discriminating result. The printhead is controlled in accordance with the characteristic information written into the non-volatile memory to execute a print process.

摘要： A DMA controller arbitrates and selects a DMA control information signal received from at least one of a plurality of DMA request blocks and accesses an SDRAM on the basis of the selected DMA control information signal. In the DMA controller, an SDRAM controller detects using a detector the number of possible sequential accesses on the basis of a DMA start address signal, compares using a comparator this number of possible sequential accesses with the burst DMA request number designated by a BSTNUM signal, selects not larger one of the two numbers, and sets the number of sequential DMAs to be actually executed to the selected number. Accordingly, with a simple configuration, sequential access is made possible starting from an arbitrary address.

摘要： A motor control apparatus has a motor driver for driving a motor in accordance with an input of digital-format drive data of a predetermined length, thereby driving a mechanism using the motor as a power source. The drive data, which has been made to correspond to a plurality of drive patterns, is stored in a memory, part of the drive data, which has been read out from the memory by DMA, is replaced with other data, and the resultant data is output to the motor driver. Thus, different drive data can be generated by replacing a part of the drive data stored in the memory with other data, and the generated data can be transferred to the motor driver. This makes it possible to reduce the memory capacity needed for motor control.
