摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To efficiently operate an operation screen by using the operation screen common to plural output devices provided with different attributes to display the OR and AND of the attributes belonging to the plural picture output devices on this operation screen. SOLUTION: Plural printers 16, a server 14 and a scanner 12 are connected to a network 10. The server 14 calculates the OR or AND of the attribute information of the printers 16 based on the attribute information of each of the plural printers 16 to generate an operation screen generation signal and transmits it to the scanner 12. The scanner 12 inputs picture data, and the common operation screen generated based on the operation screen generation signal displayed on a display panel. Information for designating the printer 16 and information on the output form of the picture are inputted from the display panel and transmitted to the server 14. The server 14 transmits the information on the output form of the picture and the picture data to the designated printer 16, which outputs the picture based on the transmitted information and picture data.
