Because a conventionally known imaging apparatus includes a buffer element for each signal processing circuit, the number of buffer elements increases in proportion to the number of signal processing circuits. The delayed supply of a drive signal within a group of a plurality of signal processing circuits may require the operation timing margin to be set longer. In other words, the operational speed is hard to increase. First buffer circuits connected in series and second buffer circuits connected in parallel with the first buffer circuits are provided, and one second buffer circuit supplies a drive signal to a plurality of signal processing units.

In a case of executing first printing that printing is performed by using a first group, which includes nozzles of a nozzle array whose distances to a detection unit are less than a first predetermined value, and thereafter executing second printing that printing is performed by using a second group, which includes nozzles of the nozzle array whose distances to the detection unit are equal to or less than the first predetermined value and are equal to or more than a second predetermined value, a first driving pulse for the first printing is determined by using a first temperature, which is detected by the detection unit when the first printing is performed. A second driving pulse for the second printing is determined by use of a second temperature, which is derived based on the first temperature and corresponds to a temperature of the nozzles of the second group.
