<p>A digital image reproduction system is operable in an immediate copy mode in which the regular printing sequence (steps 114-121) is suspended for printing a priority job in between (steps 110-112), the image data and reproduction parameters for the priority job being not cancelled as long as the immediate copy mode persists (step 124), and the reproduction parameters for the priority job being changeable while the regular printing sequence is continued. When a new job is programmed while a previous job is still being printed, the immediate copy mode may be used for making a test copy of the new job, so that the printing parameters can be adjusted properly. For this purpose an interactive interface (18) is incorporated in the system for displaying a plurality of pages (45, 46, 48, 50) simultaneously and for selecting one or more individual pages and adjusting the operating parameters of the reproduction system separately for the selected pages.</p> |
