Abstract:
An image processing system comprising:a plurality of input interfaces for inputting image data output from a plurality of host systems;an input buffer being divided into a plurality of blocks for storing the image data input through said plurality of input interfaces;means for determining an upper limit value of a storage amount of the image data stored in said input buffer for at least one of said plurality of input interfaces;means for storing image data of one job in blocks of said input buffer in a scattering manner so as not to exceed the upper limit value determined by said determination means;means for recognizing a data processing capability of said image processing system for each input interface,wherein said determination means determines the upper limit value in response to the data processing capability recognized by said image processing system capability recognition means; andmeans for recognizing a data processing capability of each of said host systems for each of said input interfaces,wherein said determination means determines the upper limit value in response to the data processing capability recognized by said host system capability recognition means.
