8. A controlling method of a printing system which enables a printing device to print data transmitted by a remote computer, the method comprising:

causing a memory unit to store print data transmitted by said remote computer;

causing a user interface unit of said printing device to perform display for selecting at least one of a plurality of data including the print data which has been stored in said memory unit; and

causing said printing device to perform a first printing operation, a printing second operation and a third printing operation,

wherein the first printing operation and the third printing operation are operations for printing scan image data obtained by a scanner unit as a cover sheet,

wherein the second printing operation is an operation for printing the print data stored in the memory unit and selected via said user interface unit,

wherein the first printing operation, the second printing operation and the third printing operation are sequentially performed in order of the first printing operation, the second printing operation and the third printing operation, in response to a single user instruction inputted said user interface unit of said printing device,

wherein the print data to be printed in the second printing operation is obtained before inputting the single user instruction and first scan image data to be printed in the first printing operation and second scan image data to be printed in the third printing operation are obtained by using the scanner unit after inputting the single user instruction, and

wherein a sheet subjected to printing by the second printing operation is disposed between the cover sheet subjected to printing by the first printing operation and the cover sheet subjected to printing by the third printing operation.
