<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an image formation system capable of improving versatility of the image forming device and reducing waiting time of a user and improving convenience of the user. <P>SOLUTION: A group of GUI units 16 and a group of IOTs 14 are not in an one-to-one relation as shown in Fig. 5. Namely, the GUI unit 16B can select any of the IOTs 14A, 14B, 14C, .... In the figure, the GUI unit 16A has already selected the IOT 14A and has already instructed execution of image formation processing. The GUI unit 16B searches the IOTs 14A, 14B, 14C, ..., and unused IOTs 14, and selects the IOT 14B and IOT 14C because the IOT 14A is already locked. The GUI unit 16B selects the IOT 14B or IOT 14C. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT |
