8. A printing apparatus comprising a semiconductor storage apparatus including a memory unit including one or more memory devices, the printing apparatus further comprising:
a first resistance connected in series to a power line that supplies a writing voltage of the memory unit;
a second resistance connected in parallel to the first resistance via a drive element; and
a control unit configured to control the drive element to be driven into conduction to allow current to flow through the first resistance and the second resistance when a memory device of the one or more memory devices of the memory unit is selected,
wherein the one or more memory devices are anti-fuse elements, and
the first resistance is connected in series to the one or more memory devices.
