ABSTRACT:
A personal imaging computer system (PICS) is connected to a local area network (LAN) and includes a plurality of programmable function keys which can be programmed over the LAN by remote LAN users from their workstations. Once programmed, manipulation of the function keys causes the PICS equipment to perform at least one of plural selectable image-processing tasks. Preferably, the programmable function keys are divided into two groups, one of the groups being restricted to programming by the network administrator only, and the other group having unrestricted programming by any LAN user. The PICS equipment includes a display which displays an image of the plural function keys, and in response to operator selection on the display of a displayed image of one of those plural function keys, the function performed by that key is also displayed. When the physical function key itself is manipulated, the PICS equipment executes the programmed imaging-processing tasks.
