Liquid discharging apparatus

A liquid discharging apparatus that is configured to discharge liquid on a medium comprising:

• a first control circuit configured to output a first discharge control signal, a first base drive signal, and a transport control signal for controlling transport of the medium;
• a second control circuit configured to receive the first discharge control signal, the first base drive signal, and a state information signal indicating a state of the liquid discharging apparatus, and configured to output a second discharge control signal and a second base drive signal;
• a first drive circuit configured to output a first drive signal based on the second base drive signal;
• a first substrate provided with the first control circuit;
• a second substrate provided with the second control circuit and the first drive circuit;
• and a first discharging head including a first discharging portion that is configured to discharge liquid in response to the first drive signal and a first switching circuit that is configured to switch whether or not to supply the first drive signal to the first discharging portion based on the second discharge control signal, wherein when the state information signal does not include information indicating an abnormality in the state, the second control circuit is configured to output the second discharge control signal based on the first discharge control signal, and when the state information signal includes the information indicating an abnormality in the state, the second control circuit is configured to output the second discharge control signal for controlling the first switching circuit not to supply the first drive signal to the first discharging portion.
