Abstract: A printing method, including offering a choice to create special pages in a print job; simultaneously displaying a plurality of selectable features, each feature corresponding to a category of special pages; receiving a selection of a first selectable feature; displaying a child window including selectable options of the first selectable feature; receiving a selection of at least one option corresponding to a first range of pages; and displaying a summary view window, wherein the summary window includes the first range of pages and the at least one selected option that the user has selected for the first range of pages.

Abstract: A way to allow customization of attributes seen in a marking machine user interface (UI) and their layout. A user can create multiple “UI sets,” each of which can include tabs, each of which can include UI elements laid out in various ways. The user can name the UI sets and tabs and can select any attribute from a superset of supported attributes, allowing custom configurations that will work across multiple printer types. Only attributes supported by a currently connected printer will show on the user's UI, so the user does not see invalid options. UI sets are stored in a file on the user's local disk, so it persists across multiple sessions and could be created by a system administrator and deployed to all the users.
