A transmission apparatus transmits an e-mail having a content attached thereto to a mail address destination of a printer. A server having a function of a mail server acquires a thumbnail image of a content acquired from the received e-mail and printing setting information and transmits the thumbnail image and the printing setting information to a terminal. A receiver confirms details of the content and printing setting details on the terminal, and then transmits a printing request notification from the terminal to the server. The server transmits printing data converted from the content and causes the printer to print the content. After the printing data is transmitted, the server performs a process of giving points according to the printing of the content to a user of the reception apparatus.
