Abstract
The present invention is directed to system and method for providing a user with ease of document processing operation selection and ready assistance in retrieving information regarding the document processing operations and options available on a document processing device. The system provides a one-touch document processing operation selection screen, enabling a user to quickly and efficiently select a document processing operation. The system further includes an assistance request screen, allowing a user to request information regarding document processing operations and options. The document processing device receives from an associated user identification data. The user identification data is used to access an associated storage repository and retrieve a personalized display. The personalized display includes at least one icon. The icon represents a document processing operation that the user has previously executed. The user then is prompted, via a user interface, to select an icon corresponding to the type of document processing operation desired. The document processing device then performs the document processing operation immediately following the selection of the icon on the personalized display screen.
