Abstract
An image output request (representing that image data is stored in a memory) is transmitted from the system on the transmitting side to the system on the receiving side. This image output request includes information such as the name of transmission source and an area where the image data is stored. Upon reception of this image output request, the system on the receiving side notifies the system on the transmitting side of reception of this request. The network is temporarily disconnected. When a predetermined time has elapsed, the system on the receiving side connects the network on the basis of the received image output request and reads out and outputs the image data stored in the memory in the system on the transmitting side. Upon reception of the image data, the system on the receiving side notifies the system on the transmitting side of reception of this data.
