In case of forming images by distributing image data mixedly including plural
different kinds of data to plural image formation apparatuses, the data is distributed
in consideration of a state of the image formation apparatus and data desired by
a user is quickly output. In order to operate a system smoothly, an image formation
system, which has an information processing apparatus capable of selectively transmitting
a series of image data composed of plural pages containing first-kind image data
and second-kind image data different from the first-kind image data to a first
image formation apparatus and a second image formation apparatus in the page unit,
controls to transmit the first-kind image data to the first image formation apparatus
and transmit the second-kind image data to the second image formation apparatus
from the series of image data. Further, transmission timing of the first-kind image
data to the first image formation apparatus is made differ from transmission timing
of the second-kind image data to the second image formation apparatus in accordance
with a function of the first image formation apparatus or a function of the second
image formation apparatus.
