DEVICE, SYSTEM AND PROGRAM FOR FORMING IMAGE, DEVICE AND PROGRAM FOR TRANSMITTING DATA, AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING IMAGE FORMING DEVICE

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an image formation system for making an image forming device start image formation based on image data at a proper point of time.

SOLUTION: This image formation system is provided with a facsimile machine connected to the Internet and a PC as a data transmitter connected to the Internet. When the facsimile machine receives printing condition data and print data from the data transmitter, the facsimile machine registers them in a print FIFO memory. An output of the print data registered in the print FIFO memory is controlled on the basis of the printing condition data. For example, a time parameter included in the printing condition data is collated with a present time (S421) to determine whether an image formation start condition represented as the time parameter fits in well with the present time (S425). When it is determined that the image formation start condition fits (Yes in S425), an image based on the print data is formed on recording paper (S460).
