It is retrieved whether or not the input file name is in a memory of one's own apparatus and, when the input file name is in the memory of one's own apparatus (ST12 and ST13), it is displayed to a display part that the file is within the memory of one's own apparatus (ST14), file data are read out of the memory of one's own apparatus (ST15), and printed. When the input file name is not in the memory of one's own apparatus in the ST13, the file name is transmitted to a file server 3 together with a transmission request (ST16).
