Abstract
A reproduction apparatus for producing copy, such as copier/duplicator includes an operator control panel that has a display screen for indicating certain standard selectable features for a copying operation including copy format, paper supply source, copy quality, magnification and exit location with plural displayable options for each feature. Buttons are provided for altering the display on the screen to indicate a displayed selected option for each. Improved operator interaction for casual walk-up users is provided by displaying on the display screen, prior to operator selection of a displayed option, the default settings for each of the standard selectable features without simultaneous display on the screen of any additional option associated with each standard selectable feature.
