FACSIMILE USER INTERFACE WITH TOUCH-SENSITIVE DISPLAY AND METHOD OF USE Abstract of the Disclosure A system and method for controlling facsimile communications is disclosed. A facsimile machine contains a touch-sensitive display that displays a plurality of display screens containing step-by step instructions allowing a user to use complex facsimile functions. The facsimile machine displays a plurality of menus on the touch-sensitive display, and the user can select the desired option by touching the touch-sensitive display in the location corresponding to the desired option. The touch sensitive display also displays a prompt that provides the user with instructions related to the particular screen display. The predetermined input locations on the touch- sensitive display are designed to appear like buttons and are labeled to correspond to their function. A button appears to be depressed when the user touches it. The facsimile machine indicates the selection of a button by displaying the button in a depressed position when the user touches the touch-sensitive display, and the facsimile machine performs the function associated with the button when the userremoves his finger from the touch-sensitive display. This allows the user to slide his finger to a different button and perform a different function if so desired. An optional hardware keypad with a plurality of buttons, some of which correspond to buttons on the touch-sensitive display, can be used to enter commands into the facsimile machine.
