发明名称 LIQUID EJECTION DEVICE AND LIQUID EJECTION METHOD
摘要 A liquid ejection device includes a head unit and a control unit. A driving signal generating portion of the control unit is configured to create a driving signal having at least one wave portion for ejecting the liquid from the nozzles. A signal converting portion of the control unit is configured to convert plural types of original control signals including an original latching signal and an original printing data signal into a single serial control signal having a serial form. A signal restoring portion of the head unit is configured to create plural types of restored control signals from the serial control signal received, the restored control signals including a restored latching signal and a restored printing data signal. The nozzles are configured and arranged to eject the liquid based on the driving signal, the restored latching signal, and the restored printing data signal.
