PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a technology to control a printer part, a scanner part so that local copying is surely/properly carried out when the local copying is judged as executable in a printer/scanner complex machine. SOLUTION: The printer/scanner complex machine is constituted so that a first function to form an image in the printer means based on print data received from the outside, a second function to read the image in the scanner means based on a request from the outside and a third function to generate the print data based on the image read by the scanner means and to form the image in the printer means based on the generated print data are performed. When an execution instruction of the third function is accepted from a user, the printer part and the scanner part are controlled so as not to newly accept execution instructions of the first function or/and the second function until a processing regarding the execution request of the third function is completed. |
