PURPOSE: To maximize the use of the processing ability of each of connected copiers, to improve its operability, and to improve the overall work efficiency, in a copier system in which the plurality of copiers are connected on-line by means of a telecommunication line. CONSTITUTION: The copier system, in which the copiers (A-D) 101-104 are connected in a network and image data between the copiers (A-D) 101-104 are transmitted and received, is equipped with a means for detecting a limited number of ejected sheets, and a controller 106 which, when the number of ejected sheets detected by the means has reached the limited number in the course of a copying process by one of the copiers (A-D) 101-104, makes one of the other copiers perform the same copying process. |
