Abstract
An embodiment of this invention is directed to a technique in which in a case where a mobile terminal and an MFP are directly connected to each other, the mobile terminal can readily obtain print data existing in a Web server apparatus and transmit the print data to the MFP. According to the embodiment, for example, connection information to the MFP is obtained from the MFP by using a short distance wireless communication method such as NFC. The print data existing in the Web server apparatus is obtained via a network. Furthermore, communication with the MFP is established using a wireless communication method such as a WLAN different from the short distance wireless communication method. The obtained print data is transmitted to the MFP. After that, the established communication is released.
