SOLUTION: Imaging engines are increased on a mother board 7 of the combined instrument in addition to an external application. The image engines to be increased have exclusive memories for storing image data as well. Thus, a resource of which the right of use is acquired can return the right of use of a data bus even when printing output on a sheet is not completed after spooling the data to the imaging engine and connection between other resources is enabled. Connection control of the resources is executed by the mother board 7 and a video control part 3 and selection of an image engine for efficiently outputting the resources is performed by a copying function of a base and an added external application.
