PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent copies from being outputted futilely even if a printing fob is interrupted during the printing operation of some job by changing a registered number inputted with a registered number input means to an allowable registered number, with a changing means at the time of starting the job in the case the registered number is larger than the allowable one. SOLUTION: In this copying machine 1, when a desired number of copies (registered number) inputted by an operator is an allowable number of copies or below, the job is executed on the basis of the registered number inputted by the operator, to obtain the number of the copies corresponding to the registered number, that is, desired by the operator. At this time, the registered number inputted by the operator is the allowable number of copies or below, so that the job is never stopped while being in execution. On the other hand, the desired number of copies inputted by the operator is larger than the allowable one, the job is executed on the basis of the registered number after being changed, to obtain the copies corresponding to the registered number. In such a case, the registered number after being changed is the allowable number of copies, so that the job is never stopped while being in execution. |
