IMAGE FORMING DEVICE, PRINTER COMPLEX SYSTEM AND MEDIUM CONVEYING DEVICE FOR THE DEVICE, INFORMATION PROCESSING UNIT FOR SUPPLYING IMAGE DATA TO THE IMAGE FORMING DEVICE, AND IMAGE FORMING SYSTEM AND IMAG FORMING METHOD PROVIDED WITH THESE

摘要

To be able to quickly and easily meet requirements for changing a recording medium size, especially, making its size larger, while meeting a faster recording requirement. A plurality of printing devices (116) spatially independent (separated) in mutual relations and also independent in a signal system an ink system are disposed in a proper layout to permit line-sequence recording. An information processing unit (100) divides a produced image into a plurality of elements of print data for transferring to a plurality of printing devices. A conveying device (117) for conveying large-size recording media to a plurality of printing device disposing areas is disposed, and a signal for setting print timing in association with the position of each of plurality of printing devices is transferred from this conveying device.
