Resource management system, printer, printer network card and resource management program, and resource management method

A printer that manages a resource that a first function module and a plurality of second function modules that necessitates the first function module in execution thereof use, comprising:

• a first resource limiting unit that limits a volume of the resource that an entirety of the first function module and the plurality of second function modules use;
• a resource limiting information acquisition unit that acquires resource limiting information that shows a limiting condition of the resource;
• and
• a second resource limiting unit that, based on the resource limiting information acquired at the resource limiting information acquisition unit, limits a volume of the resource that at least one of the plurality of second function modules uses.

A printer network card that manages a resource that a first function module and a plurality of second function modules that necessitates the first function module in execution thereof use, comprising:

• a first resource limiting unit that limits a volume of the resource that an entirety of the first function module and the plurality of second function modules uses;
• a resource limiting information acquisition unit that acquires resource limiting information that shows a limiting condition of the resource;
• and
• a second resource limiting unit that, based on the resource limiting information acquired at the resource limiting information acquisition unit, limits a volume of the resource that at least one of the plurality of second function modules uses.

A resource management program that manages a resource that a first function module and a plurality of second function modules that necessitates the first function module in execution thereof use, comprising:

• a program that allows a computer to execute a procedure including;
• a first resource limiting step for limiting a volume of the resource that an entirety of the first function module and the plurality of second function modules use;
• a resource limiting information acquiring step for acquiring resource limiting information that shows a limiting condition of the resource;
• and
• a second resource limiting step for limiting, based on the resource limiting information acquired at the resource limiting information acquiring, a volume of the resource that at least one of the plurality of second function modules uses.

A resource management program that manages a resource that a first function module and a plurality of second function modules that necessitates the first function module in execution thereof use, comprising:

• a program that allows a computer to execute a procedure including;
• a resource limiting information acquiring step for acquiring resource limiting information that shows a limiting condition of the resource;
• and
• a resource limiting step for limiting, based on the resource limiting information acquired at the resource limiting information acquiring step, a volume of the resource that the first function module uses to execute the second function module.

A resource management method that manages a resource that a first function module and a plurality of second function modules that necessitates the first function module in execution thereof use, comprising:

• a first resource limiting step for limiting a volume of an entirety of the resource that the first function module and the plurality of second function modules use;
• a resource limiting information acquiring step for acquiring resource limiting information that shows a limiting condition of the resource;
• and
• a second resource limiting step for limiting, based on the resource limiting information acquired at the resource limiting information acquiring, a volume of the resource that at least one of the plurality of second function modules uses.

A resource management method that manages a resource that a first function module and a plurality of second function modules that necessitates the first function module in execution thereof use, comprising:

• a first resource limiting step where a calculating unit limits a volume of the resource that an entirety of the first function module and the plurality of second function modules use;
• a resource limiting information acquiring step where the calculating unit acquires resource limiting information that shows a limiting condition of the resource;
• and
• a second resource limiting step where the calculating unit limits, based on the resource limiting information acquired at the resource limiting information acquiring step, a volume of the resource that at least one of the plurality of second function modules uses.
