Abstract
A system which enhances the process of specifying the settings of paper input and paper output by a printer driver. The system causes a Properties dialog box to be displayed on a display. The dialog box includes an image, which is an icon schematically illustrating the appearance of a printer, a paper input settings display box showing information relating to paper input to the printer, and a paper output settings display box showing information relating to paper output from the printer to be displayed in a mutually correlating manner with indication lines. Namely, the system does not require the user to switch over the card when the user carries out both the settings of paper input and the settings of paper output. The paper input settings display box has radio buttons corresponding paper output sources. The user clicks one of the radio buttons to select a desired input paper source. The paper output settings display box has checkboxes corresponding to paper outputs. The user clicks one of the checkboxes to select a desired paper output.
