PURPOSE: A method for distributing document of an image formation device is provided to reduce a waiting time of printing work by controlling a work load of image formation devices connected through a network of an office space and by automatically distributing the work load. CONSTITUTION: An image formation device receives predetermined printing data through a user interface unit from a plurality of host computers accessed to a network(S210). The image formation device displays and manages a state of the accessed image formation devices capable of printing the printing data(S220). The image formation device selects an available device in the image formation device and confirms a state of use(S230-S235). The image formation device processes the printing data in the selected image formation device(S240-S245).
