A printer receives job location data showing the location of the job data of each print job and simultaneously sends a request for acquiring attribute data such as a header related to the job data to host computers which the job location data shows. The printer analyzes attribute data sent earliest, demands job data related to the attribute data from the host computer which sends the attribute data and processes the print job. Another printer provided with plural output bins receives job data for the number of the output bins, allocates the job data to each output bin, processes the print jobs of the job data in parallel and outputs the printed result generated by the processing to the allocated output bin in the generated order. <IMAGE> |
