PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To sufficiently demonstrate the latent ability of a network and to suppress the artificial dependency on the network to absolute minimum. SOLUTION: A data request is transmitted to a server device 3 on the network NET corresponding to a data gathering instruction received from a terminal equipment 2 on the network NET for performing TCP/IP communication, a printing operation intrinsic to the device is executed based on response data returned from the server device 3 and a peripheral equipment 1 executes a series of operations from data gathering to the printing operation through communication with the network NET by itself.
