A printing system includes a first terminal apparatus, a printing apparatus, and a first server. The first terminal apparatus acquires a mail address of the printing apparatus by near field communication with the printing apparatus or from a code displayed on the printing apparatus and transmits the acquired mail address to the first server. The first server transmits electronic data corresponding to the first terminal apparatus to the printing apparatus through a third communication path based on the received mail address.

Disclosed is an image display method of displaying a first image and a second image in a display area, the second image being adjacent to the first image. The image display method includes: performing display with switching between a first display mode and a second display mode. The first display mode is a mode in which the first image displayed as a three-dimensional image and the second image displayed as a three-dimensional image are displayed. The second display mode is a mode in which the first image displayed as a two-dimensional image and the second image displayed as a two-dimensional image are displayed.

In a printing system, a smartphone reads a printer ID and transmits a smartphone's print command that includes the read printer ID and a user ID to a server; the server transmits a server's print command that includes the printer ID included in the received smartphone's print command to an office PC associated with the user ID included in the received smartphone's print command; the office PC creates print data based on the print job received from the server, according to the received server's print command; and a printer performs printing according to the received print data.

Printing system, server, and print control apparatus for issuing a print command for processing a print command originating at a terminal apparatus

A print instruction apparatus that communicates with a print apparatus includes a display section that displays a first image bundle including first and the second images, a selection section that selects at least one of first document information associated with the first image bundle, first image information associated with the first image, and second image information associated with the second image based on a signal received by a display controller, and a communication section that transmits print instruction information indicating an instruction for printing based on a result of the selection performed by the selection section. The communication section transmits, when the selection section selects the first document information but does not select the first image information or the second image information, first instruction information instructing printing of the first document information as the print instruction information.
