<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a composite apparatus for an image output capable of copeing with various printing requests and eliminating the need of upsizing the configuration of the apparatus. <P>SOLUTION: Imaging engines are installed on a mother board 7 of a combined instrument in addition to an external application. The image engines to be increased also have exclusive memories for storing image data. Thus, a resource of which the right of use is acquired can return the right of use of a data bus even when a printing output on a sheet is not completed after spooling the data to the imaging engine and connection between other resources is enabled. The connection control of the resources is executed by the mother board 7 and a video control part 3 and the selection of an image engine for efficiently outputting the resources is performed by a basic copying function and an added external application. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT |
