Abstract: According to one embodiment, the data transmitting device includes a storing unit, an authenticator generating unit, and a communication unit. The storing unit stores accuracy information based on an accuracy of synchronization between a first clock and a second clock. The first clock indicates a current time of the data transmitting device. The second clock indicates a current time of other device to be a destination of a data packet. The authenticator generating unit calculates a first time by adding a predetermined time to the current time of the data transmitting device, calculates a second time by adjusting the first time using the accuracy information, and generates an authenticator using the second time, the data packet, and a predetermined secret key.

Abstract: A low cost printing device where a document sheet and a recording paper sheet are transferred by a single drive motor. A facsimile device as a printing device with an inkjet printer section has a single drive motor for producing a driving force for transferring a document sheet or a recording paper sheet. Transmission means for transmitting a rotational force of drive motor is switched by controlling the movement of an ink carriage. This enables the single drive motor to alternatively transfer a document sheet or a recording paper sheet.
