Retention of job settings based on data type

Abstract

Systems for retaining print job settings based upon a user's preferred print settings including a processor adapted to communicate with an imaging device and a registry coupled to the imaging device that includes the user's preferred print setting. In one embodiment, the registry stores the user's print settings in a database as name/value pairs. The user's print settings in the registry can override any default settings stored in the registry. Likewise, if print settings accompany a print job, those settings can override the user's preferred print setting stored in the registry. Systems and other methods also are provided.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
