Abstract
A server comprises an electronic data item receiving unit, an identification code receiving unit, an identification code storing unit, and an electronic data item transmitting unit. The electronic data item receiving unit receives an electronic data item. When a person exists within a predetermined range from an output terminal, the identification code receiving unit receives a first identification code concerning any one of the person and a device used by the person and a second identification code for identifying the output terminal. The identification code storing unit stores therein the first and second identification codes received by the identification code receiving unit, in association with each other. The electronic data item transmitting unit transmits the electronic data item received by the electronic data item receiving unit to a corresponding output terminal based on the first and second identification codes stored in the identification code storing unit.
