A printer is provided that stores raw data. Printing is performed with the material data merged together in accordance with a print instruction from a print instruction terminal. The material data is rendered in advance and then stored in a compressed form. However, part of the material data stored in the compressed form is decompressed to its original size and stored in a decompressed form. This allows a large amount of material data to be stored in a compressed form while also allowing the stored decompressed material data to be immediately used. As such, the time required to decompress frequently used material data is eliminated. This advances the printing start time to allow high-speed printing.

The invention provides a service provision support system that can reduce the economic expenses imposed on a service recipient due to the provision of a service, and that can provide a service for an unspecified, large number of persons. A charge bundle includes: a usage status detection process, to detect the usage state of a charge bundle compatible device; a charge calculation process, to calculate the usage charge based on the usage status detected during the usage status detection process; and a charge notification process, to notify a charge bundle management server of the usage charge obtained by the charge calculation process. The charge bundle management server generates a charge bundle in accordance with a request received from the service provision terminal, and transmits the generated charge bundle to the charge bundle compatible device. Further, the charge bundle management server performs the charge process to charge the service provider the usage charge acquired during the charge notification process. When the charge bundle compatible device receives the charge bundle, it constitutes the usage status detection process, the charge calculation process, and the charge notification process based on the received charge bundle.
