PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To promptly respond to a preview request, etc., before specified time in a printer to acquire and print data via a network by using a specified URL, etc. SOLUTION: When time is specified in a printing request by a user, a registration managing part 162 registers the specified time in a schedule table 170 as main acquisition time, calculates free time in which the data can be acquired from the schedule table 170 and registers an idle time as spare acquisition time T2. An acquisition managing part 164 acquires the data by using an instructed URL by every job when the spare acquisition time comes and gets ready for the preview request, etc., from the user. Whether the data is updated or not after the spare acquisition time is decided when the main acquisition time comes, when the data is updated, the printing is performed by re-acquiring the data and when the data is not updated, re-acquisition is interrupted and the printing is performed by using the data acquired in reserve.
