The invention provides a network scanner system capable of realizing an operational environment for a shared scanner connected to a network, which is the same as or better than an operational environment for a locally connected scanner. A plurality of terminals are connected via a network. A storage unit is connected via the network and stores attribute information of each of the terminals. An image read input unit is connected via the network, reads an image, converts the image to electronically processed image information, and inputs the image information. A temporary storage unit temporarily stores the electronically processed image information input from the image read input unit. A reception unit receives a transfer request, from the terminals, for transfer of the image information read by the image read input unit. A conversion unit reads, when the reception unit has received the transfer request for the transfer of the image information from the terminals, the attribute information of the terminal associated with the transfer request out of the storage unit, and converts the image information stored in the temporary storage unit on the basis of the read-out attribute information. A transfer unit transfers via the network the image information converted by the conversion unit to the terminal of an origin of the transfer request. <IMAGE> |
