FIELD: image processing equipment.
SUBSTANCE: after activation device connects to IPv6 router in network, prefix information is obtained from router, IP address is formed, unambiguous for each one of image processing functions, for example, printing, scanning or facsimile transfer, on basis of received prefix information, device realizes communication to other device in network with usage of IP-address, generated for each image processing function, and each function for processing images operates in accordance with result of communication. Transfer task transfers data, belonging to input and output in printing task, scanning task and facsimile transfer task, by means of using IP-addresses, each one of which has different meaning for each function, and appropriate tasks are executed with usage of task switching by operation system (OS) with time division.
EFFECT: increased serviceability of multi-functional device.
