ABSTRACT:
An apparatus and method for assembling printing option menu selections to form a final set of printing instructions for a print job. A printer user interface accepts a first set of printing instructions, while a printer port accepts a computer generated storage media having a print job including a second set of printing instructions embedded therein. A processor maintains a default set of printing instructions at the printer. A processor combines the first set of printing instructions, the second set of printing instructions and the default set of printing instructions so as to compile the final set of printing instructions for completing the print job. The printing instructions may be compiled so as to prioritize the printing instructions in a desired manner. The user interface may display the various set of printing instructions, and warn printer users when conflicts arise between the instructions.
