Abstract:
According to an embodiment of the present invention, to improve processing performance, a printing apparatus that performs printing by using a printhead formed by a plurality of headchips includes one CPU, a table configured to store processing contents set by the CPU, and a plurality of processing units configured to process, in parallel, printing data to be used in each headchip by commonly using the table and in accordance with the processing contents set in the table. In addition, the apparatus includes a plurality of control units configured to wait for the completion of the processing of each processing unit, synchronize the plurality of processing units for next processing, and cause each of the processing units to execute the next processing in accordance with the processing contents set in the table.

Claim (Index 8):
The apparatus according to  claim 7 , wherein the CPU activates the one control unit integrated in the first chip, and\n in response to the activation, the one control unit reads out processing contents stored in one of the plurality of regions included in the table, sets the readout processing contents on the one processing unit integrated in the first chip, confirms that there is enough space in a buffer of the one processing unit integrated in the first chip and in a buffer of one processing unit of the two processing units integrated in each of the plurality of second chips connected via the interface, and causes the set processing contents to be executed.
