Abstract (en)

A print head control circuit controls an operation of a print head including a diagnosis circuit that diagnoses whether or not normal discharge of a liquid is possible. The print head control circuit includes a first cable including a first diagnosis signal propagation wiring for propagating a first diagnosis signal, a second diagnosis signal propagation wiring for propagating a second diagnosis signal, a third diagnosis signal propagation wiring for propagating a third diagnosis signal, a fourth diagnosis signal propagation wiring for propagating a fourth diagnosis signal, and a first driving signal propagation wiring for propagating a driving signal. A shortest distance between the first driving signal propagation wiring and the diagnosis circuit is longer than a shortest distance between the first diagnosis signal propagation wiring and the diagnosis circuit, longer than a shortest distance between the second diagnosis signal propagation wiring and the diagnosis circuit, longer than a shortest distance between the third diagnosis signal propagation wiring and the diagnosis circuit, and longer than a shortest distance between the fourth diagnosis signal propagation wiring and the diagnosis circuit.
