Publication number: 20020113998Abstract: A print system including a printer device and a host for providing contents. The printer device has a printer ID and a nonvolatile memory to hold a delivery request information table for storing access destination addresses and specific information about the printer device such as the printer ID. The printer device executes a delivery request of the contents by sending the table to the host and receives print data of the contents from the host to print the print data. The host receives the table from the printer device, determines whether the contents should be delivered according to the printer ID included in the received table, produces the print data of the contents on the basis of the specific information about the printer device, and delivers the print data to the printer device. By this structure, the printer device or a delivery request terminal voluntarily connects to the host at predetermined time or predetermined cycle to obtain designated contents to be printed.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 14, 2002Publication date: August 22, 2002Inventor: Osamu Fujinawa
