Original Abstract Submitted

A printing device includes a nozzle, a multiplexing part configured to generate a time-division multiplexed signal based on first data indicating a first driving waveform and second data indicating a second driving waveform, different from the first driving waveform, and a separator configured to separate a first driving waveform signal indicating the first driving waveform or a second driving waveform signal indicating the second drive waveform from the time-division multiplexed signal. The energy generating element is driven based on the separated first driving waveform signal or the separated second driving waveform signal.
