PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To effectively utilize a memory resource of an image forming device by shortening the printing output completion time as a connection system. SOLUTION: This system is constituted by electrically connecting a plurality of image forming devices comprising an image reading means for reading a document image; a storage means for storing image data; a printing means for printing a stored image; and a connecting means for mutually sending/receiving the image with another image forming device. An arbitrary single unit among the plurality of image forming devices acts as a master device, and read the document image to transfer the image data to another image forming device acting as a slave device. The master device and the slave device perform print by sharing in this image forming system. The system comprises an image aggregation means for aggregating the read image data to generate new image data, a transferring means for transferring the image data aggregated by the image aggregation means from the master device to the slave device, and a means for printing the aggregated image data.
