| Summary: | To Provide an image output device capable of performing an optimal data output operation (especially a print operation). A precondition is an image output device outputting data from external equipment establishing multichannel connection therewith. Check means checks an existing connection state when receiving a new connection request from an external equipment piece. Connection means secures a connection channel with the external equipment piece having issued the new connection request on the basis of a result of the checking attained by the check means. With such a construction, in the present invention, print data from an external equipment piece having issued a new connection request takes a priority in handling over that from an external equipment piece connected through a channel having a small usage frequency. |
