<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a pay printing service in a more desirable output form within restrictions even if a user is restricted, for example, by a little cash in hand. <P>SOLUTION: In a printing service apparatus 40, if a user, after giving an instruction to print data stored in a storage part 43, sets a restriction on the printing of the data to be printed through an operation/display part 42, a restricted printing control part 411 instructs an image processing part 44 to process the data to be printed into restricted print data having a print output form satisfying the set restriction, and upon a printing start operation during the display of an output sample corresponding to the restricted print data, sends the restricted print data to a printer apparatus 50, which prints it out in the form satisfying the restriction. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI</p> |
