Abstract

See full text

A copier is capable of being managed more effectively by improving a conventional management system that utilizes a communication line. The copier accesses a computer when it is started and transfers its machine ID, which specifies the particular copier, as well as a line ID of the communication channel specifying the place of installation to the computer. When the computer has been accessed, the communication channel is specified from the line ID and then the copier is accessed via the communication channel. In the copier disclosed, contact from the computer is verified after transfer of the machine ID and line ID, and the functions of the copier are allowed to be used after verification of the IDs. Thus, use of the copier is restricted until contact from the computer is verified.
