CONTROL SYSTEM OF NETWORK IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS AND ITS DATA RECEIVING CONTROLLING METHOD

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a control system of a network image forming apparatus and its data receiving controlling method to restrict receiving an unnecessary data in an image forming operation while the network image forming apparatus conducts the image forming operation.

SOLUTION: The control system of the network image forming apparatus includes a communication module 616 to send and receive signals with each terminal through the network and a central processing device 611. The central processing device 611 controls the communication module 616 so as to restrict receiving a packet to meet a prescribed condition in a data packet provided from each terminal to the network image forming apparatus 610 when the network image forming apparatus 610 is in an operation state by a request from the terminal. A time and a load accompanied with these packet receptions are reduced, an operation efficiency of the apparatus is improved, and the occurrence of any error is controlled thereby.
