In the composite machine 1A, another composite machine 1 usable by the user is retrieved from other composite machines 1 connected on a LAN 2 when a printing number by the user reaches the limited number allocated to the user. When the composite machine 1 usable by the user is discovered, the image data are output from the composite machine 1A for outputting an image by the composite machine 1. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT |
