Image processing system

An image processing system for applying the processings of a plural number of jobs to an input image data according to the machine operation instructions, which are definitely described in a job control sheet, and outputting the processed image data, comprising:

• instruction recognizing means for recognizing the machine operation instructions stored in the job control sheet;
• decision means for deciding whether execution of the recognized machine operation instructions is possible or impossible;
• processing means operating such that when execution of the machine operation instruction is possible, said processing means processes the input image data, which is to be processed according to the job control sheet, and outputs the processed image data;
• means for notifying an operator of the job being impossible in execution when the machine operation instruction cannot be executed;
• storing means for storing the input image data including the input image data corresponding to an unexecutable job control sheet operation instruction;
• instruction altering means by which the operator of the image processing system alters the machine operation instruction to enable execution of the unexcutable operation instruction;
• and
• control means for controlling said instruction recognizing means, said decision means, said processing means, said storing means, and said instruction altering means;
• wherein, when the unexcutable machine operation instruction, which is supplied from the job control sheet, is recognized, the corresponding input image data is stored in said storing means, and not output, while another job queue waiting for the processing is processed, unless said instruction altering means enables execution of the unexecutable operation instruction;
• and
• wherein said notifying means notifies the operator of the unexecutable machine operation instruction,
• an error message indicating that the machine operation instruction cannot be executed and a job identification number attached to the input image data, which is to be processed according to the operation instruction of the job control sheet, is composed on the output job control sheet image, and
• wherein, when the operator alters the machine operation instruction, which is supplied from the job control sheet and recognized, into the machine operation instruction that can be executed, said job control sheet is retrieved using the job identification number, and the input image data to be processed according to the altered operation instruction of said retrieved job control sheet is read out of said storing means, and the read out input image data is processed and output.
