Scheme for presentation of multiple print-job modification elements in a printing software user interface

摘要

A method of displaying multiple printer options in a graphical user interface includes dividing a viewing window into first and second portions separated by a first divider including a first visible affordance and displaying a scrollable list of features in the first portion together with a scroll bar. A currently selected one of the features is differentiated from non-selected features in the list in a first visually distinct manner and other selected features of the list are differentiated from non-selected features in the list in a second visually distinct manner. The method also includes dividing the second portion into first and second sub-portions separated by a second divider including a second visible affordance and displaying a print preview image of a selected page in a document that is to be printed in the first sub-portion. The selected page includes the currently selected one of the features. The method also includes displaying controls for the currently selected feature in the second sub portion.
