2. The BCP 33 constitutes a communication control module CCM.

In the above configuration, for example, a case where the parameters of the scanner 27 are changed from the apparatus main body side will be explained using FIGS. 2 to 4.

The read image information is displayed on the screen of the CRT display device 26 as an initial screen.
Various functions are displayed, such as image display on the top, image registration for registering read image information in the optical disk device 17, and word processing for operating the main body of the device as a word processor. In this display state, when image display is designated using the mouse 14 or the function key of the keyboard 13, the CPU 12 displays a display as shown in FIG. That is, around the screen of the CRT display device 26 are common icons CI for setting various processing functions.
, an icon II for instructing processing of the displayed image information, etc. are displayed, and a cursor K for instructing these icons is also displayed. In this display state, operate the mouse 14 to move the cursor K displayed on the screen.
, point the scanner icon F1, and press mouse 1.
When the first button 4 is pressed, a window is set on the screen of the CRT display device 26 as shown in FIG. 4, and a property sheet PS necessary for setting the parameters of the scanner 27 is displayed (step 5TI). . In this state, a desired parameter can be selected by operating the mouse 14 to move the cursor K to a desired item and pressing the first button. For example, by operating the up arrow key or up arrow key provided on the keyboard 13, the displayed parameter can be selected in the vertical direction, and by operating the next candidate key on the keyboard 13, the displayed parameter can be selected left or right. direction (step ST2>).

With the parameters set as above,
When the confirmation icon F9 in the property sheet PS is pointed with the cursor K, the property sheet PS on the CRT display device 26 is erased, and the parameters set above are stored in the memory 27c of the scanner 27 (step 5T3).

With the parameters set in this way, it is also possible to change the parameters by operating the operating section 27a of the scanner 27. In this case as well, the set parameters are stored in the memory 27G. therefore,
The last set parameter is considered valid.

Next, a case will be described in which the scanner 27 is driven to read image information. In the display state shown in FIG. 3, for example, point the scanner icon F1 with the cursor K, press the first button of the mouse 14 once, then point the image display icon F3 with the cursor K, and in this state, move the mouse 1
When the first button 4 is pressed twice, the CPU 12 performs the operation shown in FIG.

That is, first, the parameters stored in the memory 27c of the scanner 27 are read out (step 5T11), and the processing content is calculated according to these parameters (step 5T1).
2). That is, since the parameters are stored such that the document size is A4 or B5, the actual document size, etc. is calculated from these parameters. After this, scanner 27
An operation command is sent out (step 5T13), and the scanner 27 performs an operation of reading the original image in accordance with this operation command. Then, the image of the read original is CR
It is displayed on the screen of the T display device 26.

According to the above actual flow example, the operation section 27a of the scanner 27 and the CRT display device 26 provided in the main body of the device
The parameters of the scanner 27 can be set on the screen. Therefore, even if the scanner 27 is located away from the main body of the apparatus, for example, it is possible to set the parameters of the scanner from the main body of the apparatus, and furthermore, the set parameters can be changed by operating the operating section 27a of the scanner 27. It also has good operability.

In the above embodiment, a case has been described in which the parameters of the scanner 27 are changed, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, it is also possible to change the parameters of the printer 28 in a similar manner.

In this case, for example, prepare a plurality of printers, set paper of different sizes in each printer, and print the CRT display device H2 according to the size of the print information.
If you specify the paper size on 6, it is possible to automatically operate the printer loaded with paper of the specified size to print information, and this configuration makes operation even easier. can improve sexual performance.

Further, in the above embodiment, the CR
Although the display screen of the T display device 1126 was changed,
It is also possible to do this using function keys. In this case, to display the property sheet from the display state shown in FIG. 3, for example, operate the function selection key (not shown) on the keyboard 13, operate the function key corresponding to the scanner, and set the parameters. After that, to actually read the original, operate the function key corresponding to the scanner, and then operate the function key corresponding to the image display. Even in this case, the same operation is possible.

It goes without saying that various other modifications can be made without departing from the gist of the invention.

[Effects of the Invention] As described in detail above, according to the present invention, processing information can be set on the terminal device side by operating the operating means, and processing information can be set on the terminal device side by operating the setting means. Since the processing information of the device can be set, the processing information can be set both in the terminal device and the device itself, and an information processing device with good operability can be provided.
