<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an image processor, an image forming apparatus, an image forming system and a program, wherein a plurality of continuously connected post-processors are provided, and productivity in image forming processing is enhanced in the case that a limit is given to a degree of influence on an external environment. <P>SOLUTION: Total heat generation when jobs 1, 2 and 4 are executed in parallel is 85 (index value), total heat generation when the jobs 2 and 4 are executed in parallel is 70. If the jobs 4 and 3 are executed in parallel, the total heat generation is 90 exceeding the upper limit value of 85, then, the job 4 is independently executed. The execution order of the printing jobs is changed to be in the order of jobs 1, 2, 4 and 3, and the jobs 1, 2 and 4 are executed in parallel. Consequently, the execution of all the jobs is finished in a short time as compared with the case such that the execution order is not changed even when the upper limit of the heat generation is 85, then, the productivity is enhanced. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT |
