HEAD SYSTEM AND PRINTER

Abstract: a head system includes: a controller; heads; and head modules connected in series via communication cables and configured to transfer printing data, transmitted by the controller. each of the head modules is connected to one of the heads and includes a memory and a switch configured to switch destination of connection of an upstream communication cable of each of the head modules. in a case where one head module receives printing data to be processed by the one head module, the switch of the one head module connects an upstream communication cable of the one head module to the memory thereof. in a case where the one head module receives printing data to be processed by a head module which is downstream of the one head module, the switch of the one head module connects the upstream communication cable to a downstream communication cable of the one head module.
