PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an apparatus cooperation system capable of restricting a user's use amount at the time of apparatus cooperation even when having no authentication server.SOLUTION: A first apparatus comprises: output condition acceptance means 130 for accepting an output condition for image data; storage means 20 in which an available output amount capable of being output is stored for each user; output propriety determination means 32 for determining whether or not output under the output condition is possible, by comparing the output condition with the available output amount; the-number-of-allocation determination means 31 capable of allocating the output condition to the first apparatus and a second apparatus; and data communication means 15 for transmitting an allocated output condition to the second apparatus. The second apparatus comprises: acceptance means 15 capable of accepting image data and an output condition; execution means 17 for executing output of the image data; and data communication means 107 for transmitting a result of the output to the first apparatus. The first apparatus also comprises available output amount update means 19 for updating the available output amount on the basis of output results of the first and second apparatuses. |
