PRINTING APPARATUS WITH SEMICONDUCTOR NONVOLATILE STORAGE DEVICE, AND CONTROL METHOD THEREFOR

摘要

A printing apparatus that is capable of preventing a reduction of read rate and recovering a read error. A control unit manages controls of the entire apparatus. A storage unit is provided with a semiconductor nonvolatile storage device that is controlled by the control unit to store data and a storage control unit with a function that executes a refreshment operation for the semiconductor nonvolatile storage device at the time of reading the data. The control unit suppresses the refreshment operation when detecting an execution of a processing operation that requires a high processing speed, and permits the refreshment operation after the end the processing operation that requires the high processing speed.
