<p>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To select an output device being optimum to a requested condition such as an economicity, a time or a physical main cause, etc., by providing plural print servers and print controllers for generalizing them at the time of outputting image information including an image. SOLUTION: The print servers 104, etc., generate output images by printing order and printing requests including printing scripts transmitted from the print controllers 103. When information concerning the images is included in the transmitted printing scripts, a required image tile is directly obtained from the image server 102 based on the information and the image including the image tile is synthesized at the time of generating the output image so as to be outputted to a printer. At this time, used image data and image tile are preserved in HDD of the print server for a fixed period so that a load for transmitting the same image data and the image tile from the image server 102 again is saved.</p> |
