Abstract:
1. A fluid ejection device, comprising: a first fire line adapted to receive a first energy signal having energy pulses; a first address generator configured to provide first address signals; first resistors electrically coupled to the first fire line and to receive at least some of the first address signals, the first resistors configured to conduct in response to the first energy signal to eject fluid based on the first address signals and data signals indicative of image data; a second fire line adapted to receive a second energy signal having energy pulses; a second address generator configured to provide second address signals; second resistors electrically coupled to the second fire line and to receive the second address signals, the second resistors configured to conduct in response to the second energy signal to eject fluid based on the second address signals and the data signals indicative of the image data; and a direction signal coupled to the first and second address generators that operates a shift register of the generators in a forward or a reverse direction.
