Claims (10)

A method for processing an image file, comprising:
Detecting a command to perform the first processing operation;
Optically scanning the document to form a document image in response to the command;
Analyzing the document image to detect control information on the document;
If the control information is detected, performing the first processing operation on an image file selected by a user of the image files;
Analyzing the document image to detect at least one marked processing operation on the document;
Performing the at least one marked processing operation on an image file selected by the user of the image files if the at least one marked processing operation is detected. Method.   The initial processing operation and the at least one marked processing operation each include printing the image file on a medium, storing the image file on a mass storage device, and a recipient compatibility system. The method of claim 1, wherein the method is selected from the group consisting of: transmitting the image file. The document is an integrated sheet combining a proof sheet and order paper,
The method of claim 1, further comprising marking a user-specified area of an integrated sheet that combines the proof sheet and order paper to specify the at least one marked processing operation. The document is an integrated sheet combining a proof sheet and order paper,
Marking at least one user-specified area of the integrated sheet combining the proof sheet and the order sheet so as to specify an image file selected by the user of the image files. Item 2. The method according to Item 1. The step of marking includes the step of marking at least one user specified area;
The method of claim 4, wherein each of the user-specified areas is associated with a corresponding one of the image files. A method for specifying operational values for image processing parameters,
Specifying the image file to be processed;
Obtaining a default value for each of said parameters from a first data source;
Obtaining a setting change value for a selected parameter of the parameters from a second data source for at least one subset of the image file;
The image file in each individual subset using the setting change value for the selected parameter of the parameter and the default value for an unselected parameter of the parameter. A step of processing each of the
Processing each of the image files excluded from all of the subsets using the default values for each of the parameters.   The at least one subset of the image file is at least two subsets, and at least one element selected from the group consisting of the selected parameter of the parameters and the setting change value is the at least 2 The method of claim 6, wherein the first subset and the second subset of the two subsets are different.   The method of claim 6, wherein obtaining the default value from the first data source comprises obtaining the default value from a control operated by a user of a multifunction printing system having a scanner.   The step of obtaining the setting change value from the second data source includes obtaining the setting change value from a marking made by a user on a proof sheet inserted in the scanner. The method described.   The steps of processing each of the image files include printing each of the image files on a medium, storing each of the image files in a mass storage device, and the image in a recipient compatible system. The method of claim 6, wherein the method is selected from the group consisting of: sending each of the files.
