Abstract: An image processing system and method provide for receiving a digital document page to be printed. The page includes a background region for which no color is specified. A user is presented with an option to select a print medium from a set of print media of different colors and to select an option for a color of the selected print medium be used as a color of a background layer of the digital document page. When the option is selected, a background layer is inserted into the page. A print job incorporating the processed digital document page is output to an associated printer that is configured to convert the color of the background layer to colorant values that use the print media as a colorant for rendering at least a part of the background region.

Abstract: A graphical user interface (GUI) to provide a plurality of finishing options for a print job is disclosed. For example, the GUI includes a mimic window to provide real-time animations of selected document parameter options and finishing options and a finishing options window below the mimic window, the options window comprising. The finishing options window includes a plurality of document parameter options and a plurality of finishing options that are displayed below the plurality of document parameter options.

Abstract: A wizard menu option is provided to begin a natural language wizard. A first wizard question page is provided that displays only a menu of colors. A second wizard question page is provided that displays only a menu of change magnitude/orientation phrases. A third wizard question page is provided that displays only a menu of color characteristic terms. A natural language sentence is created by combining a selected color, a selected change magnitude/orientation phrase, and a selected color characteristic term. In response to the natural language sentence, a color item is altered by changing locations of the image that have the selected color according to the selected change magnitude and change orientation phrase, and the selected color characteristic term.

Abstract: Methods and a system for a natural language control interface are provided to enable a user to modify various properties of a document. The modifications comprise building sentences from modification words, and combining them together in one display. The modifications are displayed in real time for a user to observe as they are inputted. The order of the modifications is managed by the user and is configured to be changed, added and/or removed.

Abstract: Disclosed are methods of controlling printing of a document using a printer driver interface, and corresponding apparatus and computer-readable medium. The embodiments receive a print command to print a document having a document size, display the printer driver interface, the printer driver interface including the document size, display a selectable paper output size on the printer driver interface, the selectable paper output size allowing a user to select a user-selected one of a plurality of different paper output sizes, display user-selectable scaling options on the print driver interface, the scaling options for applying scaling to an image to be printed on the user-selected one of the plurality of different paper output sizes, receive from the user the user-selected one of the paper output sizes, and control printing of the document using the user-selected one of the paper output sizes.

Abstract: Disclosed are methods of controlling operation of a printer, apparatus and computer-readable medium. The embodiments control operation of a printer by displaying to a user a print user interface including selectable document settings and a default/saved settings control, the default/saved settings control displaying a list of at least one saved default setting and command settings, the at least one saved default setting including selected ones of the document settings, the command settings allowing the user to create additional default settings and to delete the at least one saved default setting, and controlling printing of a document to print on the printer using the saved default setting and the selected ones of the document settings.
