Abstract
A multifunction device includes a multifunction controller, a first interface for receiving input data from a document data source and a second interface for outputting processed input document data to a printer, and a touch screen that implements a graphical user interface for controlling the operation of the device. The device includes control over setting operational parameters for the document data source and the printer, and selecting a mode of operation of the multifunction device. Another interface is provided for coupling to a facsimile device for outputting processed document data to the facsimile device under control of the graphical user interface, while a further interface is provided for coupling to an e-mail port for outputting processed document data to the e-mail port, also under control of the graphical user interface. Users are able to search and access databases through a global data communications network.
