A print server connected to medical diagnostic imaging equipment via a network
or dedicated channels, wherein the print server executes a process to identify
the device that is the source of image data received via the network or dedicated
channels and outputs the image data to a specific sorter bin in a printer based
on this source. The image output processor can also selectively choose a sorter
bin as an output destination for the image data, based on either attribute data
or the device that transmitted the image data, depending on the communication protocol.
