System and method of managing image data in network

摘要

A system of managing image data in a network (10) comprises a scanner (1), a printer (5) and a client computer (3), each connected to the network (10). The printer (5) includes a storage section (52) for storing image data inputted by the scanner (1), and the client computer (3) manages the image data stored in the storage section (52) via the network (10). The system allows reductions in scale of the network system and its build-up cost. <IMAGE>
