A mass spectrometer includes a linear multipole electrode, an auxiliary electrode that applies a DC potential on the center axis of the linear multipole electrode, and a DC power supply that supplies a DC power to the auxiliary electrode. The DC potential slope formed on the center axis of the multipole electrode is changed according to the measuring condition. The ejection time of ions can be adjusted optimally by adjusting the potential slope so as to satisfy the measuring condition. If the ejection time of ions is shortened, confusion of different ion information items that might otherwise occur on a spectrum can be avoided. If the ejection time of ions is lengthened, detection limit exceeding can be avoided and ions can be measured efficiently, thereby highly efficient ion measurements are always assured.

A printing system includes a host computer and a printer. The host computer generates pixel group data for a plurality of pixel groups as print data. The pixel group data is generated in a time series by processing pixel groups aligned in a paper conveying direction within an image foaming range. This data provides information for driving specific nozzles in each print head. The pixel group data also identifies non-ejection times indicating the number of times in the pixel group that ink droplets are not ejected from nozzles in succession. By considering the non-ejection times identified in this pixel group data to be “information for driving the nozzles,” the printer itself need not count nor identify the number of non-ejection times, but can drive the nozzles with drive waveforms corresponding to the number of non-ejection times.
