Abstract
A method for altering attribute values in a printing system with a user interface having a display screen is provided. A first user dialog having a first set of attribute values and a second user dialog having a second set of attribute values are selectively displayable on the display screen; while the first set of attribute values is alterable from a first user settable configuration to a first default configuration and the second set of attribute values is alterable from a second user settable configuration to a second default configuration. The user interface further includes a user activatable area for altering the attribute values and the method includes the steps of: (a) activating the user activatable area a first time to alter the first set of attribute values from the first user settable configuration to the first default configuration when the first set of attribute values is disposed in the first user settable configuration; and (b) activating the user activatable area a second time to alter the second set of attribute values from the second user settable configuration to the second default configuration when both the second set of attributes is in the second user settable configuration and selected user information is provided to the user interface.
