A printed-matter issuing client takes out contents from a contents management server, and prints the contents on a printing recording part, while at the same time records ID information indicative of a storage location of the contents into an IC chip integrated into the printing recording part. A printed-matter verifying client reads out an image to be verified on a printing surface of a printing recording part, by an information acquiring part, and acquires ID information from the IC chip. The printed-matter verifying client takes out contents from the contents management server according to the ID information, and verifies it with the image on the print surface, and it judges whether the printing recording part is true or false on the basis of the verifying result.
