Print data including a provisional registration command is received. When
the print data including the provisional registration command is
received, an authentication code is obtained. The authentication code is
stored in a user information DB. Provisional registration data is
obtained from the user information DB. Then, a list of provisional
registration data is displayed. It is determined whether the provisional
registration data is selectively input or not. If the provisional
registration data is selectively input, user information in which IC card
information or biological information and the authentication code are
associated with each other is transmitted to an authentication server.
The authentication server executes a process of registering the received
user information.
