Abstract

See full text

In a method and system for controlling a plurality of copying machines, plural control units respectively associated with the copying machines are connected with one another by means of a private branch exchange (PBX) telephone system. A control unit calls one or more of the other control units, internally through the extension lines of the PBX, at a prescribed data and time, to detect any abnormality in the operation of the called unit. If an abnormality is detected, a call is placed to a control center located external to the PBX, to thereby inform the control center of the detected abnormality.
