Specifically, first, the time information associating unit 105 acquires the control server local time (for example, “2014-01-04 2:00”) at a predetermined time. Here, the time information associating unit 105 may acquire the control server local time from the built-in clock or the system clock of the control server 10, or may acquire the control server local time from an external server. Further, it is assumed that information (for example, “UTC-4 (H)”) indicating a difference between the control server local time and the coordinated universal time is stored in the storage unit of the control server 10 in advance. When the time setting information acquisition unit 105 acquires information (for example, “UTC + 9 (H)”) indicating the difference from the coordinated universal time of the image forming apparatus local time as the time correction information, the time information association unit 105 Information on the difference between the control server local time and the coordinated universal time is acquired from the storage unit.

Region). Then, the time information association unit 105 identifies the difference between the time of the identified location and the coordinated universal time. For example, a correspondence table of information (country name, country code) indicating the location of the image forming apparatus 30 and a time difference is stored in the storage unit of the control server 10. Then, based on the information indicating the location of the image forming apparatus 30 acquired by the time setting information acquisition unit 105 and the correspondence table, the time difference of the location of the image forming apparatus 30 is specified. For example, if the information indicating the location of the image forming apparatus 30 is the country name and country code, the time information association unit 105 refers to the correspondence table and identifies the time difference corresponding to the location of the image forming apparatus 30. When the information indicating the location of the image forming apparatus 30 is the domain name or IP address of the image forming apparatus 30, the time information association unit 105 first specifies the country name and country code from the domain name and IP address. There is a need. Here, in order to specify the country code from the domain name, the country code top-level domain is referred to, and in order to specify the country code from the IP address, the correspondence table between the country code and the IP address is referred to.

Based on this, a time difference (−13H) between New York time and Japan time is calculated. Then, the time information association unit 105 applies the time difference (−13H) between the New York time and the Japan time to the time acquired from the system clock of the control server 10 (“2014-01-04 2:00”). Then, the time is corrected (“2014-01-04 15:00”) corresponding to the location (Japan) of the image forming apparatus 30. The time information association unit 105 associates time information indicating the time corrected in this way with data.

  As a result of the determination in the process S8, when it is determined that the merge macro that associates the print time with the data is not included (S8: N), or when the time information is associated with the data in the process S13, the output data is generated. The unit 103 generates output data obtained by converting the data into a page description language interpretable by the image forming apparatus 30 (S12), and the output data is transmitted to the image forming apparatus 30 (S13).
