PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a system which issues receipts on the color/graphic base without changing applications on the monochromatic/text base.

SOLUTION: Background image data representing a background image is preliminarily stored in a printer (50), and receipt print information is printed over the background image on a receipt (61) when print data representing the receipt print information is acquired from a PC (40). In this case, an area included in a part between lines where a start character string and an end character string detected from print data are printed, respectively, is taken as a print area to print the background image. This system enables receipts to be issued on the color/graphic base without changing applications on the monochromatic/text base.
