Abstract
Upon carrying out printing based on order information, a workload of an operator can be reduced. An order file transferred to a laboratory via a network is input to a printing controller and accepted by an order reception device. The order file is temporarily stored in temporary storage and input to a judgment device. The judgment device judges whether a print is a target of automatic printing or manual printing based on the order information described in the order file F. In the former case, the order information and image data to be printed are input to a printer and printing is a carried out. In the latter case, a confirmation device temporarily stores the order file F. An operator regularly confirms the order file of manual printing target and the content of printing by using the confirmation device, and inputs the image data to be printed and the order file to the printer to carry out printing.
