Abstract
Based on the theories of ergonomics science and implications from user experience, this study proposes a redesign of the multi-function printing (copying) machine. Several factors are worth considering in this redesign process. They are overall appearance, fundamental operating functions, and user experience (different body figures, as well as visual effects, are included). By comparison of existing machines, in-depth interviews, and questionaries, it stands to reason that existing machines have design problems on overall appearance, operation mesa, and controller interface. To provide better user experience, improvements are suggested in this study mainly in three dimensions, human-machine appearance design, interface layout design, and the visual guide instruction design.
