printed materials of necessary and sufficient amount by effectively using
stocked printed materials, and thus achieve the issue process in a
high-operability and high-convenience environment, a file information
list is acquired and displayed from a document server, it is controlled
by a controller of a printer to display a screen for accepting an
acquirement indication for the file information, a stock of the file
information selected on the screen is inquired to a stock management
server, the stock information is thus acquired, and it is controlled,
according to the acquired stock information, to cause a display unit to
display a screen for accepting either one of a delivery indication and an
information writing indication selectable by user or accepting both the
delivery indication and the information writing indication selectable by
user.
