PURPOSE:To distributedly output an output request job having large output quantity without reducing the communication efficiency of a network. CONSTITUTION:At the time of receiving an output request job having the extremely large number of output sheets or the like, a job control part 2 allows a job processing part 3-3 to convert the received job into a prescribed intermediate format and allows a job processing part 3-5 to select an output device capable of outputting the job while referring to a management table 5a and divide the converted intermediate format based upon the output speed ratio of the output device. If the selected output device is included in another copying processing execution part, a job output part 4-n transfers the divided intermediate format to the other copying processing execution part and each of a main copying processing execution part and the other copying processing execution part to which the intermediate format is transferred developes the divided intermediate format to raster data and outputs the developed data from job output parts 4 to be respective output devices so as to distribute them in parallel. |
