PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an error recovery control method for image formation system in which loads in the processing of an entire image formation system are distributed so as not to be concentrated on the side of a computer. SOLUTION: When any error occurs at a digital copy machine (S11 and S12), the number of printed sheets to be reported to an interface device (S13) and the number of print requests at that time are held by the interface device (S14). When the cancel of error state is reported from the digital copy machine to the interface device (S15), a print request for outputting the difference between the number of print requests and the number of printed sheets is issued again from the interface device to the digital copy machine (S16). Thus, the same output result as the case of no error occurrence can be provided. |
