Abstract
A programmable message storage system for a multifunctional printing system is provided. The programmable message storage system includes a configurable database for listing a plurality of message identifiers, the plurality of message identifiers corresponding respectively with the plurality of messages. The plurality of code sets corresponds respectively with the plurality of message identifiers, and each code set controls a manner in which a corresponding message is displayed on the display screen. In practice, at least one of the plurality of code sets is user programmable so that, in response to user input, the at least one of the plurality of code sets is reconfigured in the database for changing the manner in which the message corresponding with the at least one of the plurality of codes sets is displayed as a function of said reconfiguring.
