The system of the invention includes: a storage portion for storing the information as to installation sites of a plurality of output apparatuses and their functional information (e.g., shop list table in the print service server); and an output apparatus candidate selecting device for extracting the candidates for the nearby output apparatus capable of producing an output of the image data, with reference to the information as to installation sites of the output apparatuses with their functional information stored in the storage portion, based on the image data input via the network from a portable terminal device and the information as to the current position of the portable terminal device. The image data is transferred to the output apparatus selected by the user from the output apparatus candidates presented by the output apparatus candidate selecting device.
