<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an image forming apparatus for processing a plurality of image signal input output operations in matching with designation of priority. <P>SOLUTION: When an input output request of which priority is designated is received (step 100); whether or not input output requests registered in a queue include an input output request with higher priority than that of an input output request A is discriminated (step 101); the processing end time of an input output request B and a processing end time of the input output request A is obtained when the queue includes the input output request B whose priority is higher than that of the input output request A (step 102); the processing end time of the input output request B is compared with the processing end time of the input output request A (step 103); and execution of the input output request A is inhibited by deleting it from the queue when the processing end time of the input output request A comes earlier than the processing end time of the input output request B. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO |
