IMAGING APPARATUS, IMAGING SYSTEM, METHOD FOR CONTROLLING IMAGING APPARATUS, AND MEDIUM FOR PROVIDING PROCESS PROGRAM

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To solve the problem by limiting accepting processes from a network that resources (sockets) or the like of an image output device are considerably reduced to hinder the accepted process from being normally executed when image processing is required to the one image output device simultaneously from a plurality of image input devices in a remote copy. SOLUTION: There are provided an interactive operation setting means which uses a display for setting each of image-forming functions and at least one or more press type input devices, a remote image output means for outputting images read by the image input devices to a plurality of image output devices via a transmitting medium, a remote information-obtaining means for obtaining information of the image input devices via the transmitting medium, an image input device registration number-recording means for recording from how many image input devices a connection request is received via the transmitting means and a control means for not receiving the connection at the transmitting medium exceeding an upper limit of the number of the image input devices to be registered.
