It consists of a manufacturer identification number (“ID = 11”, “ID = 12”, “ID = 13”, “ID = 14”, “ID = 15”). Here, as shown in FIG. 16F, if the receiving device manufacturer identification number 63a held in the storage means 15 is “ID = 14”, the optimum luminance judging means 14 manufactures the receiving device. Using the company identification number 63a “ID = 14” as a key, the receiving device manufacturer identification number 23 of the received two-dimensional code group 41 is referred to, and the receiving device manufacturer identification number 23 of “ID = 14” is entered. The dimension code data 41e is selected. Next, the two-dimensional code image data 21 of the two-dimensional code 44e is transferred to the BML browser 16.
