When a user registers a type and a condition of image formation by a terminal, the terminal determines a reservation number specific to contents of the registration, and the determined reservation number is displayed on the display of the terminal. The user watches this display and can know the reservation number. Once the reservation number is determined, registration data containing the determined reservation number and the content of the registration is generated by the terminal. The registration data is sent to the body of the apparatus. The registration data sent to the body is stored in the body. When the user stands in front of the body and inputs the reservation number, respective registration data are searched for corresponding to the reservation number. Further, based on the searched registration data, image reading, image processing, and image printing are controlled.
