Abstract
A multifunction printer, connected to a digital rights management (DRM) system through a network, has a reader unit for reading a document or a photograph as an image. The multifunction printer transmits data of the image to the DRM system. The DRM system converts the received image data into data in a DRM format. The multifunction printer enters the converted image data into a digital image data database and/or transmits the data to a destination.
