PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To improve a delivery efficiency of a delivery device.SOLUTION: According to a print request from a host apparatus used by individual users in an office 5, an image forming apparatus 1 outputs a printed matter by printing an image on a received print job and a delivery device 2 delivers the printed matter to the print-requesting host apparatus (a user). In the case of receiving print jobs from users B and C sequentially while the image forming apparatus 1 is printing the print job received from a user A, a delivery instruction is not issued immediately upon completion of the printing of the print job of the user A and the print job of the user C is printed in priority, if a delivery destination of the print job of the user C is nearby the delivery destination of the print job of the user A. Upon completion of the printing, a delivery instruction is issued in a lump for the printed matters of the print jobs of the users A and C. The delivery device 2 travels a path, such as (a) to (b) to (c), to deliver the printed matters to the users A and C, and returns thereafter. |
