ABSTRACT:
A reproducing device for reproducing images, such as a photocopier/printer, which has an interface that enables selection of a value for at least one predetermined parameter from among a predetermined set of possible values of the parameter. This parameter defines at least in part how at least one image is to be reproduced. The reproducing device includes: an image source, such as a scanner; a printer; the interface; and a controller for coordinating and controlling the image source, the printer, and the interface. The interface includes: a manipulation device, physically configured to be manipulable in ways corresponding to a plurality of intersecting lines, respectively, for converting manipulation into a signal that identifies one of two possible directions of a line; a memory for storing a plurality of sets of possible values for each of at least one predetermined parameter, each set corresponding to one of the lines; and a parameter-value device for enabling stepwise selection of a value, within a set of possible values of the parameter, in response to the way in which the manipulation device is manipulated as indicated by the signal from the manipulation device. The plurality of sets for a predetermined value, for example, can include: a first set that is all possible values of the parameter; and a second set that is a subset of the first set corresponding to preferred values.
