PURPOSE: To accomplish the centralized control of plural copying device by a control device set at a remote spot by individually providing a transmission part and a reception part for transmission and receiving specified information through an antenna in each copying device and the control device.
CONSTITUTION: Each of the copying devices 1 and 2 is provided with a communication device 15 for processing the transmission and reception with the control device 3, and a communication device 21 is also disposed on the control device 3 side. Then, each of the devices 1 and 2 is provided with an operation part 11, an interfaces 12, a CPU 13, a memory 14, and the communication device 15. Meanwhile, the control device 3 is provided with an operation part 22, a CPU 23, and a large capacity memory device (large capacity memory) 24, for instance, consisting of a magneto-optical disk device. Image information, control information and management information are mutually transmitted and received between the communication device 21 on the device 3 side and the communication device 15 of the devices 1 and 2 through the antenna. Thus, the use state in a copying system in which plural copying devices 1 and 2 are used is grasped en bloc.
