               The disclosed invention relates to a multifunctional                   
          document processing system that has a facsimile mode and a                  
          computer printer mode.                                                      
               Claim 1 is the only independent claim on appeal, and it

               1. A multifunctional document processing system having a               
          facsimile mode and a computer printer mode, including:                      
               a printer, responsive to signals directed thereto to                   
          produce an image on a sheet;                                                
               a user interface, allowing the selection of a printer                  
          only mode or a printer & facsimile mode;                                    
               a facsimile circuit receiving facsimile transmissions and              
          directing signals indicative thereof to the printer,                        
          including:

                    a first controller,                                               
                    a facsimile job memory, and                                       
                    an external telephone line connection suitable to                 
               receive facsimile transmissions;                                       
                    a printer circuit receiving signals from an external              
               data source, including                                                 
                    a second controller, and                                          
                    an external data communication line suitable to
