Abstract
A printing device comprises a nozzle configured to eject liquid by an energy generating element, and a signal generator configured to generate a time-division multiplexed signal where first data indicating a first drive waveform and second data indicating a second drive waveform are multiplexed transmittable through a single signal line. The time-division multiplexed signal included a first part and a second part of the first drive waveform, and a third part and a fourth part of the second drive waveform. The third part is arranged between the first part and the second part, and the second part is arranged between the third part and the fourth part. The printing device further comprises a separator configured to separate one of a first drive waveform signal indicating the first drive waveform and a second drive waveform signal indicating the second drive waveform from the time-division multiplexed signal.
