Abstract

An office business device and a one-touch operation method are provided. The office business device incorporating the one-touch operation method includes a memory, a plurality of function keys, and a one-touch key. The function keys having predefined functions generate a plurality of setting parameters, which are stored in the memory. When an execution key is pressed, setting parameters stored in the memory are defined as one operation procedure. When the one-touch key is pressed, the setting parameters of previous operation procedures are read for.

Claims

1. An office business device comprising:

a memory;

a plurality of function keys having predefined functions for generating a plurality of setting parameters, and wherein the setting parameters are stored into the memory so as to define an operation procedure while an execution key is pressed; and

a one-touch key pressed for reading and executing the previous operation procedure.

2. The office business device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the office business device is a facsimile apparatus or a multiple-function printer.

3. The office business device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the memory is a random access memory or a flash memory.

4. A one-touch operation method of an office business device, comprising the steps of:

(a) pressing an execution key to perform an operation procedure; and

(b) reading setting parameters for the previous operation procedure when a one-touch key is pressed.

5. The one-touch operation method as claimed in claim 4, wherein the office business device is a facsimile apparatus or a multiple-function printer.

6. The one-touch operation method as claimed in claim 4, which further comprises following steps before step (a):

selecting an operation mode and recording the corresponding setting parameters;

selecting a function and recording the corresponding setting parameters

inputting a setting value and registering the corresponding setting parameters; and

pressing the execution key.

7. The one-touch operation method as claimed in claim 4, wherein the step (b) also selects and executes the previous operation procedures.
