Abstract
A page exception icon is provided for programming a page exception during a document processing job. The page exception icon is pre-programmed by selecting at least one document job processing parameter from a plurality of document job processing parameters and storing the document job processing parameter in association with a name provided for the page exception icon. The page exception icon can be dragged and dropped onto objects representing pages of a document processing job to perform a page exception in accordance with the document job processing parameters pre-programmed for the page exception icon.
Claims15
A method of creating a pre-programmed page exception icon operable to perform a page exception on at least one page of a document processing job, the method comprising:
- selecting at least two document job processing parameters from a plurality of document job processing parameters;
- creating a pre-programmed page exception icon that represents the at least two document job processing parameters, wherein the pre-programmed page exception icon is operable to perform the page exception in accordance with the at least two document job processing parameters;
- assigning a name to the pre-programmed page exception icon;
- and
- storing the created pre-programmed page exception icon and the assigned name of the pre-programmed page exception icon so that it is presented on a graphical user interface that permits selection of the pre-programmed page exception icon for use on future document processing jobs.
A computer-readable medium storing instructions for controlling a computing device for creating a pre-programmed page exception icon operable to perform a page exception on at least one page of a document processing job, the instructions comprising:
- selecting at least two document job processing parameters from a plurality of document job processing parameters;
- creating a pre-programmed page exception icon that represents the at least two document job processing parameters, wherein the pre-programmed page exception icon is operable to perform the page exception in accordance with the at least two document job processing parameters;
- assigning a name to the pre-programmed page exception icon;
- and
- storing the created pre-programmed page exception icon and the assigned name of the pre-programmed page exception icon so that it is presented on a graphical user interface that permits selection of the pre-programmed page exception icon for use on future document processing jobs.
A system for pre-programming a page exception icon operable to perform a page exception on at least one page of a document processing job comprising:
- a processor operable to execute computer program instructions;
- and
- a memory operable to store computer program instructions executable by the processor, the processor performing the steps of:
- selecting at least two document job processing parameters from a plurality of document job processing parameters;
- creating a pre-programmed page exception icon that represents the at least two document job processing parameters, wherein the pre-programmed page exception icon is operable to perform the page exception in accordance with the at least two document job processing parameters;
- assigning a name to the pre-programmed page exception icon;
- and
- storing the created pre-programmed page exception icon and the assigned name of the pre-programmed page exception icon in the memory so that it is presented on a graphical user interface that permits selection of the pre-programmed page exception icon for use on future document processing jobs.
