The present invention has an object to avoid an inconvenience of potentially not being able to use a department managing function. In a system environment to which the department managing function is to be applied, if two-way communication between a printer and a client computer is anticipated to be inoperable, the processing is switched over so as not to carry out an authentication processing using two-way communication.
