A method and graphical user interface for selecting pad printing functions for an image output device. The user interface is provided to a user and displays a pad printing dialog box that enables selection of pad printing output. Selectable pad printing options are displayed, which include the number of sheets per pad and the total number of pads to be output. When the user selection of pad printing and pad printing options are received, the total quantity of sheets to be output based on selected pad printing options and organizing the sheets for pad printing output from the image output device are automatically determined. Availability of pad printing is determined based on finishing options selected.

Pad printing user interface dialog for copy or print

A printer includes a first paper tray carrying a selected print medium and a user interface having a control associated with a selected attribute of the set of attributes defining all print media. The control has a first input device providing a control system input selectively associating a range of values of the selected attribute with the first paper tray. The printer control system feeds the print mechanism from the first paper tray when a print job is received, designating media having a value for the selected attribute falling within the range of values associated with the first paper tray.
