In an image forming device including a plurality of image processing means each having a particular function, control means combines the image processing means in accordance with a requested mode. For example, assume that an image input via first image inputting means should be processed by first image processing means, then processed by second image processing means, and then output via first outputting means. Then, the control means sets particular parameters in each of the first and second image processing means, and sets up an image path extending from the first inputting means to the first outputting means.
