ABSTRACT:
An output apparatus processes data input selectively from a plurality of host computers and outputs a data processing state. The output apparatus includes an input structure that inputs data selectively from the plurality of host computers, a discriminating device that discriminates from which one of the plurality of host computers the input data is supplied, and an informing device for informing an operator of the output apparatus of the data processing state of the output apparatus in response to a discrimination by the discriminating device. An output method performs the operations of the output apparatus, and can be performed by using a memory medium that stores a program used in a programmable output apparatus. The output apparatus may use a host interface, or a plurality of host interfaces, for the input structure.
