A print order receiving apparatus includes a reader to read image data from a media in which the image data are stored; a producing section to produce information regarding a print order for an image based on the image data read by the reader and to confirm the print order by a confirming operation; a transmitting section to transmit the information regarding the print order produced by the producing section to an external image forming apparatus; and a selecting section capable of selecting one of a first mode and a second mode. In the first mode, the transmitting section transmits the information regarding the print order to the external image forming apparatus in response to the confirming operation at the producing section, and in the second mode, the transmitting section transmits the information-regarding the print order to the external image forming apparatus a predetermined time after the confirming operation was conducted at the producing section.
