PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain a print system in which a user can grasp the timing for supplementing consumables of a printer easily. SOLUTION: When a RIP(raster image processor) generates a screen data for displaying the residual quantity of ink based on a residual quantity of ink received from a printer, a decision is made whether a timing of supplement is reaches (S240). If the timing of supplement is reached (S240: YES), a screen data for changing the color of graph indicative of the residual quantity of ink is generated so that the ink to be supplemented can be determined (S260). A terminal receives the screen data generated by the RIP and displays a screen based on that data. Consequently, the residual quantity of ink is displayed on the display of the terminal while changing the color at the time of supplement. |
