The information indicates correspondence relationships between the nozzles and the power supply circuits, between the nozzles and the groups, and between the nozzles and the nozzle arrays. Printing is performed by driving the head based on the information. The groups include a first group and a second group adjacent to each other in the first direction. The first group includes a first nozzle array adjacent to the second group in the first direction.
