A storage device generates low frame rate video data by frame thinning high frame rate video data input. The method includes modulating a carrier signal with the supplementary data using a spread spectrum approach and demodulating the carrier signal to recover the embedded supplementary data. A power savings mode of at least one unit within the integrated circuit associated with the functional digital thermal sensor is monitored in response to at least one of the plurality of digital thermal sensors being functional. A control part acquires an amount of movement of the carrier by complementing an amount of movement of the carrier acquired from the first signal by an amount of movement of the drive member acquired from the second signal. At the start of a next print job, activation timing of each of the drive motors is adjusted in accordance with the drive amount so as to reduce a variation generated due to the microscale driving.
