DATA OUTPUT APPARATUS, DATA OUTPUT SYSTEM, AND DATA OUTPUT CONTROL METHOD

摘要

An image forming apparatus Gk of a data output system includes a data output time calculation function unit that calculates a predicted output time necessary for outputting data to be output in a specified output form by a data output function unit which outputs the data to be output in the specified output form, and a control function unit that compares the predicted output time with a predetermined threshold time and controls displaying of display data, which is stored in a storage function unit, onto a display function unit.
