Abstract
An imaging system includes a processing component which receives images to be rendered and a rendering device, such as a marking engine, fax machine or email system, in communication with the processing component for rendering an image supplied by the processing component. A haptic interface is in communication with the processing component for inputting commands from the user to the processing component for rendering the image, and outputting feedback from the processing component to the user as a force feedback.
