Abstract

Job commands including priority conditions of each of a plurality of functions of a multifunctionable image forming processing apparatus are sent from a device connected to a network. A multifunctionable image processing apparatus receives these commands and recognizes the aforementioned priority conditions of these commands, and, based on these priority conditions, determines the image processing execution order to execute the jobs. For example, priority conditions may be in accordance with execution time, execution costs, output quality, output, and command function completion. When priority is in accordance with output, a portion of the jobs are removed during image processing and executed, while when priority is in accordance with execution time, execution cost, or output quality, the processing time is controlled during image processing. When priority is in accordance with command function completion, image processings which do not satisfy the conditions for performing the indicated image forming completely are skipped.
