A print system is provided that has a plurality of printer units for print processing on a print medium basis and that ejects printed materials, printed by the plurality of printer units, according to a pre-set order. Each printer unit includes peak current calculation means that analyzes a load of received print data, calculates a peak current value that will be required for printing the print data based on the load analysis, and sends the calculated peak current value, as well as a print request, to a controller. The controller compares a total current value of the peak current value, which is sent from the peak current calculation means, and a total current consumption value of printer units in print operation with a maximum current setting value stored in the print system and, based on the comparison result, controls whether or not the print request from the printer unit is permitted. |
