FIELD: information technology.
SUBSTANCE: invention relates to a device for managing output, which includes: acquisition unit which receives a list of output data; storage unit which stores information on combined use of data storage device; first estimation unit that evaluates state of first control device output; second estimation unit that evaluates state of second control output devices when rated by that first control device output is not functioning, and data storage device is shared with first and second output control devices, and setting unit, which sets possibility of outputting output when first estimation unit evaluated first output control device operates, or second estimation unit estimated that at least one of second devices output control functions, and sets impossibility of output when second estimation unit estimates that all second output control devices are not functioning, thereby improving efficiency of printing system.
EFFECT: disclosed is a device for managing output.
