PRINT SERVICE METHOD FOR FREE HANDOUT

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To distribute a necessary amount of free handouts carrying the latest information without waste over a wide range since a free handout placed at a shop and the like is often turned into waste of paper eventually.;SOLUTION: Free handout information is transmitted from a terminal device 10 in an information supply source to a management server 20 in a management company to be stored. When a user makes a print request via an image forming device 30 installed at a shop, the free handout information is received from the management server 20 to be printed free of charge. The image forming device 30 notifies the number of print to the management server 20, and the management server 20 demands a print fee from the information supply source. When information on the free handout is used, a commission is paid to the shop equipped with the image forming device 30 from the management server 20.;COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT
