Abstract
In previous print services, print ordering is complex, and burden on an orderer is large. In an information storage system there are included a server apparatus that is connected to a network and stores image data supplied via the network and a terminal that is installed in the street and used by the user to transmit the image data to the server apparatus via the network and read the image data specified according to external operations from the server apparatus via the network. And the server apparatus includes storing means for storing the image data supplied via the network in association with specific identification information, reading means for reading the image data corresponding to the identification information from the storing means based on a reading request transmitted from the terminal via the network and the identification information and transmitting means for transmitting the image data read from the storing means by the reading means to the terminal according to the reading request via the network.
