PURPOSE: To improve the processing efficiency of copying or the like by directly transferring document data or the like from a personal computer to an office machine such as a copying machine without printing out on paper.
CONSTITUTION: A personal processor module(PPM) 1 can be loaded/unloaded into/from a copying machine 34 and has both of a data I/O function and a data processing function in any state out of a loaded state to the copying machine 34 and an independent state. An input device 16 in the PPM 1 receives data to be outputted through the machine 34. A memory 9 or an HD 11 stores the data. When the PPM 1 is loaded into the machine 34, a connection part 3 electrically connects the PPM 1 to the machine 34. An operation part 32 in the machine 34 receives an operation command to the machine 34. A print output part 29 outputs picture information. When the PPM 1 is loaded, a connection part 46 electrically connects the machine 34 to the PPM 1. In the loaded state of the PPM 1, the output device 29 outputs data stored in the memory 9 or the HD 11.
