PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an image forming device that accepts image data from a specific transmission means with priority in the case of forming an image according to image data from a plurality of transmission means. SOLUTION: An acceptable maximum number (max reg num (i)) is set to each transmission means (request source) that sends image data. When it is discriminated that an acceptable maximum number is set to a request source of a job in the S 42, whether or not a current acceptable job number (current reg num (i)) of the request source is smaller than the acceptable maximum number is discriminated in the S 46, and when smaller, whether or not an acceptable maximum number being an acceptable limit of a memory of the image forming device is exceeded is discriminated if the job requested at present is accepted. When not exceeded, an 'acceptable' is sent to the source in the S 48. When exceeded and the current acceptable job number of the request source reaches the acceptable maximum number in the S 46, a 'not acceptable' is sent to the request source in the S 49. |
