    Abstract: Disclosed is a document processing system with one-key printing, which includes a printing device, a scanning device, an interface module and a processing device. The scanning device is provided for inputting a scanning image. The interface module is provided for inputting commands or outputting information. The processing device is electrically connected to the printing device, the scanning device and the interface module respectively. The processing device performs a printing process based on the scanning image to make the printing device perform printing and generate prompt information through the interface module. When the processing device determines that it receives a one-key execution command input by the interface module, the processing device performs the printing process again based on the scanning image to make the printing device perform printing again without repeatedly inputting images and repeatedly manipulating settings, thereby improving the convenience and efficiency of use.
