PURPOSE:To eliminate the need for providing an arithmetic controller for output- only operation and to improve operation efficiency by carrying out processing for calculating and storing data on a next job document based on job control information in parallel to data output operation. CONSTITUTION:When the item of 'parallel processing' in a menu sheet 22 provided at an optional position of a digitizer is selected with the free cursor 21 of the digitizer 20, a computer 30 stores control data regarding a job being outputted in a determined location in a RAM area. A parallel processing control means performs normal magnification angle calculating operation wherein next job control information is read out of the RAM, a job name is inputted on a keyboard, and job name information is added to the next job measurement information. Further, measuring operation is repeated when an X-Y plotter 50 is still in operation and the parallel output processing is selected when the X-Y plotter already stops. Consequently, even if an output means such as the X-Y plotter is in operation, the next magnification angle calculating operation is carried out in parallel. |
