PURPOSE:To enhance the using efficiency of printing means by employing printing of information from information inputting means during printing the printing means of the side that the printing is finished when either one printing of information inputting means is finished in case that information inputted from the first and second information inputting means are printed by the first and second printing means. CONSTITUTION:When a command for instructing the start of a printing is inputted from a keyboard 2-6 to a magnetic tape unit (information inputting means) 2-2-a, 2-2-b, data are transferred from magnetic tapes 2-1-a, 2-1-b to MT buffers 2-3-a, 2-3-b, analyzed by a CPU2-5, stored in the pattern in page buffers 2-4-a, 2-4-b, then fed to a printer 1, and images are respectively printed on printing sheets. When all data of the magnetic tape 2-1-b are outputted from the printer 1 during printing, the page buffer 2-4-b used to print the data of the magnetic tape 2-1-b immediately before it is obtained to print the data of the magnetic tape 2-1-a. |
