PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent a user who goes to a place where a combined machine is set from uselessly waiting for operation by prioritizing the copying job of the user directly operating the combined machine. SOLUTION: In the case of setting image quality by the control panel (corresponding to an input part 1) of the combined machine in order to perform copying, an input content analysis part 3 analyzed what kind of operation is performed by the control panel based on output from the control panel. At such a time, a control part 4 judges based on the result of analysis that the image quality is set that the copying job is required, and sets the operation state of the composite machine to 'in the midst of operation' in order to secure a printer part 8 as recyclable resources. When the combined machine is in the preparation state of the execution of the copying job, the execution of the copying job is prioritized even when a printer job is required, so that the user designating the copying job obtains an intended copy immediately. |
