ABSTRACT:
A line concentrator and external devices wherein data transmitted from external devices within a system and wherein the processing of the received data can be efficiently executed without increasing load on the network is provided. A print system includes a printer hub, a shared printer and a shared MFP. The printer hub includes a switching hub for receiving data from another network and a repeater hub located in the downstream of the switching hum. The switching hub transmits the received data only to designated ones among the connected devices, and transmits the received data to the repeater hub. The repeater hub transmits the data, which is supplied from the switching hub, to all of the image forming apparatuses (shared printer and shared MFP) included in the print system.
