To enable the recording without error of the interrelations of a combination of images recorded on a transfer medium by preventing an error in the combination of a first image and a second image from occurring in such a manner that the interrelations of the combination of the first image and the second image are established.

A character/line graph image and a gradation image are recorded on a transfer medium 7 using three different types of device such as an image recording device 100, a character/line graph recording device 200 and an image transfer device 30. A bar code recorded in the transfer medium 7 is read using a sensor 8a. Further, the bar codes of the character/line graph image and the gradation image which are read, are collected and it is confirmed whether the combination is correct. It this case, an area in which a face image is recorded, of an intermediate transfer recording medium is stacked on the transfer medium in which information on the attribute of an individual is recorded, and the transfer recording medium and the transfer medium are pressed with the help of a hot stamper 5 and a lower backing table. Finally, only the face image is transferred to the transfer medium 7 from the intermediate transfer recording medium and is recorded in the transfer medium and the transfer medium is ejected to an ejected paper cassette 9b.
