PURPOSE: To rapidly start processing and to reduce a load of a user by providing a means, etc., selecting a device optimally compromised according to a prescribed condition based on a calculated required time of work and energy consumption. CONSTITUTION: A drive controller 2 is provided with respective means such as mode setting, work input, efficiency calculation and device selection. First, the work data of the copy data executed by digital copying machines 3, 4 are inputted by the work input means having a key board 9 and a RAM 8. Then, the efficiency calculation means calculates the required time and the energy consumption from start to end of work of respective fixing devices 38, 57 of the digital copying machines 3, 4. Finally, the device selection means selects one of the digital copying machines 3, 4 based on the calculated required time and energy consumption. At this time, when an automatic transmission mode is set in by the mode setting means, the copying machine is selected automatically. |
