More Information
Summary:Example embodiments reduce the number of data input/output lines by carrying on a single signal line input signals to the image forming control means from a plurality of detection means and drive signals output to a plurality of drive means from the image forming control means, provide versatility for coping with cases where configuration of the image forming apparatus is changed without increasing the number of signal lines, and control the drive means that require a drive pulse and simultaneous drive of a plurality of drive means. Identification control means determines whether a drive signal is output to drive means of a plurality of input/output means, or whether a detection signal from detection means is input, identifies any one input/output means of the plurality of input/output means from an identification signal, and specifies the data to be transferred to a data line as data of the identified input/output means.
