Abstract: A CPU obtains a leading page of data stored in an HDD and executes delivery. Then, the CPU determines whether a single-delivery stop command is received or not. When the CPU determines that the single-delivery stop command is received, it executes the single-delivery stop processing. The CPU determines whether an all-delivery stop command is received or not. When the all-delivery stop command is received, the CPU executes all-delivery stop/resume processing. When the all-delivery stop processing command is not received, CPU determines whether a predetermined period has elapsed or not. When the predetermined period has elapsed, the CPU obtains a next page and executes next data delivery.
