Abstract: A printing system includes a print station disposed at a sheet transport path, a feed section arranged to feed media sheets of different media types into the transport path so as to be fed sequentially to the print station, and a controller arranged to receive print instructions concerning images to be printed, to schedule a sequence of the media sheets, and to control the feed section and the print station such that each image is printed on a sheet of a media type that has been specified for that image in the print instructions. A sensor is arranged at the transport path for detecting a quality condition of the sheets being fed to the print station, and the controller is adapted to receive a quality signal from the sensor and, when the quality of a sheet is found to be insufficient, to skip that sheet and to reroute the corresponding image to another scheduled sheet that is compatible with the print instructions.

Abstract: A reproduction device includes a scanner, memory for storage of electrical image information, a printer and an operating device. The operating device comprises a display screen for the display of apparatus functions for selection, a first selection device for selecting a group of apparatus functions to be displayed on the display screen, and a second selection device for selecting the displayed apparatus functions or options thereof. The apparatus functions are grouped in a first group of apparatus functions relating to all the document sheets of a document for scanning, copying or printing, a second group relating to a specific document sheet of a document and a third group relating to a specific area of a specific document sheet. The first selection device is suitable for selecting directly from a standard basic menu at least some of the functions from one of the groups of functions.
