Abstract
A printing apparatus comprising a printing element substrate, including a substrate including a heating element for heating and discharging liquid and a temperature detecting element for detecting a temperature of the substrate, wherein a detection period, during which a detecting result is obtainable, extends across a plurality of cycles of a latch signal, and a heating enabling signal for discharging the liquid and the latch signal are output such that, in the detection period, an output value of a temperature waveform does not exceed a preset threshold value, the temperature waveform being a temperature waveform of the substrate detected by the temperature detecting element.
Claims12
A printing apparatus comprising:
- a printing element substrate including
- a heating element configured to heat liquid to discharge the liquid from a discharging opening,
- a substrate including the heating element, and
- a temperature detecting element configured to detect a temperature of the substrate,
- wherein a detection period, during which a result of detecting the temperature of the substrate by the temperature detecting element is obtainable, extends across a plurality of cycles of a latch signal periodically input to the printing element substrate,
- wherein a heating enabling signal, to be applied to the heating element, for discharging the liquid and the latch signal are output in such a manner that, in the detection period, an output value of a temperature waveform at a portion on which noise generated due to driving of a logic circuit of the printing element substrate based on the latch signal is superimposed does not exceed a preset threshold value, the temperature waveform being a temperature waveform of the substrate detected by the temperature detecting element,
- wherein the printing element substrate includes a mask signal generation unit configured to generate a mask signal, and
- wherein the detection period is a period during which the mask signal is output at a high level.
