Combined interface for specifying separate characteristics for multiple copies of an electronic document

A computer-implemented method for specifying handling characteristics for an electronic document, the method comprising:

• in response to a user's activation of a print control of an application program, displaying, to the user, a user interface that comprises:
• a first user interface element through which the user can select, from among a plurality of source trays of a printing device, a first source tray of the printing device;
• a second user interface element through which the user can select, from among a plurality of output trays of the printing device, a first output tray of the printing device;
• a third user interface element through which the user can select, from among the plurality of source trays of the printing device, a second source tray of the printing device, wherein the second source tray is separate from the first source tray;
• and
• a fourth user interface element through which the user can select, from among the plurality of output trays of the printing device, a second output tray of the printing device, wherein the second output tray is separate from the first output tray;
• and
• sending, to a printing device, print data that (a) causes the printing device to print a first copy of an electronic document on media from the first source tray and (b) causes the printing device to deposit the first copy in the first output tray;
• and
• sending, to the printing device, print data that (a) causes the printing device to print a second copy of the electronic document on media from the second source tray and (b) causes the printing device to deposit the second copy in the second output tray;
• wherein the first, second, third, and fourth user interface elements are displayed concurrently.

A computer-readable medium carrying one or more sequences of instructions for printing an electronic document, wherein execution of the one or more sequences of instructions by one or more processors causes the one or more processors to perform the steps of:

• displaying a user interface that comprises user interface elements through which a user can specify, for each copy of two or more printed copies of an electronic document, a separate handling characteristic for that copy;
• receiving, through the user interface, separate handling characteristics for each copy of the two or more printed copies of the electronic document;
• and
• sending, to a printing device, print data that causes the printing device to print the two or more printed copies of the electronic document in accordance with the handling characteristics.
