Abstract
An apparatus to output a large variety of input data in a desired form is provided. A file of data to be output is specified from among data accumulated in a hard disk device in a data processing apparatus and an output condition is specified. It is determined whether the data can be output under the specified output condition. If the data can be output, it is output under the output condition. For example, the data is printed as an image. The data is sent to a foreign apparatus directly or sent by attaching it to an e-mail. The data is sent to a foreign storage device. If the data cannot be output, link information to access the data is sent by an e-mail.
