Abstract:
A computer implemented system and interactive method for selecting finishing options for a print job are disclosed. The method includes receiving a print job which includes a document to be printed and associated job ticket information. Printers capable of executing the print job are identified and a user selection of one of the capable printers is received. Finishing options available on the selected printer are displayed and a user-selected one or more of the displayed finishing options are received. A three-dimensional visualization of the document as it would be rendered on the user-selected printer with a user selected finishing option(s) is generated. The print job ticket information can then be updated, based on any user-selected printer and finishing options.
