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.
