DATA TRANSMISSION APPARATUS, IMAGE FORMING SYSTEM, AND PROGRAM

摘要

<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a data transmission apparatus, image forming system and program for transmitting parallel data converted into serial data via a plurality of transmission lines even when a failure occurs on any transmission line. Ž<P>SOLUTION: A data transmission apparatus 10 comprises a parallel/serial converter 40 for converting parallel data into serial data to be transmitted via a plurality of transmission lines 16, and a serial/parallel converter 52 for converting the serial data transmitted via the plurality of transmission lines 16 into parallel data. When a failure occurs on any transmission line 16, conversion rules used for the parallel/serial converter 40 are changed to convert data into serial data to be transmitted via any other transmission line 16 than the faulty transmission line 16. Conversion rules used for the serial/parallel converter 52 are changed to convert the serial data transmitted via the other transmission line 16 than the faulty transmission line 16 into parallel data.
