IMAGE PROCESSING SYSTEM AND PHOTOGRAPHIC PROCESSOR

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an image processing system which enables a photographic processor to rapidly accept a print processing request from a terminal processor side. SOLUTION: This image processing system is equipped with: the photographic processor 1 which comprises a first image processing part 10 with the function of performing image processing, and an exposure engine 32 for performing print processing; a terminal 2 which is equipped with a second image processing part 40 with the function of performing the image processing; and a network 3 which connects the photographic processor with the terminal 2. The photographic processor 1 is equipped with: a mode setting means 37 which enables the setting of a first print mode for performing the print processing in accordance with data acquired by the first image processing part 10, and a second print mode for performing the print processing in accordance with data acquired by the second image processing part; and a priority setting means 38 which presets the performance or nonperformance of the priority processing of the print processing request, when the print processing request is issued from the terminal 2, in the performance of the print processing in the first print mode. The print processing request from the terminal 2 is made interruptable. COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI
