Abstract
An image forming machine includes a host computer, a printer, a copying machine, and a document supply device for conveying a document printed by the printer to an automatic document feeder of the copying machine. The host computer and a control device provided in the printer are connected together via a parallel data transfer type interface, while the host computer and control device provided in the copying machine are connected together via a serial data transfer type interface. Thus independent data are transferred from the host computer to the control device of the printer and the control device of the copying machine.
