The transferred image data of each color is stored in a memory provided in each data transfer control part. A printer controller exchanges control information with the host device through a control line, and controls each data transfer control part based on the control information while controlling a conveyance control part for controlling conveyance of printing paper. The image data of each color read from the memory of each data transfer control part is supplied to a printing head of each color whose route is set in an image output part. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT |
