<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an image output device which can output a plurality of jobs collectively, without the need of complicated operations, while maintaining a high level of security. <P>SOLUTION: When a plurality of authentication cards are read by an authentication device (S101, S103) and the authentication cards are authenticated in an image output device (S105), a binding and printing process is carried out. The image output device combines (binds) jobs associated with the authenticated cards into one job (S107). The order of combining the jobs and the print mode for the combined job are set in accordance with the order in which the authentication cards have been authenticated or the priorities assigned to the respective jobs (S109, S111). The image output device, after combining the jobs, prints the combined job to obtain a set of printouts (S113). <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT |
