Abstract:
1. A method for setting output settings on a touch screen display of a multifunction peripheral, the method comprising the steps of: displaying an initial output image for setting all output image settings on the touch screen display; designating a single predetermined position on said initial output image; inputting output image settings including continuously pushing the single predetermined position on said initial output image; displaying an output setting menu wherein said output setting menu relates to the predetermined position on said initial output image; performing setting operations, including vertical movement of a pointing device, on said output setting menu; displaying an image quality icon for displaying image quality related information relating to said setting operations performed on said output setting menu; performing an indicative input operation at said single predetermined position on said initial output image; switching the display screen to a mode for inputting the output image settings on said initial output image; executing a reverse setting operation on the output setting menu operating icon to return the output image to the initial output image wherein the output image and the initial output image are displayed simultaneously during the reversed setting operation and wherein said predetermined reversed setting operation includes drawing a cross within a whole display area of the output image; updating the output image according to the output image settings made directly on said initial output image; and displaying the updated output image as the final output image when setting operations are stopped, wherein the indicative input operation and output image settings are performed directly on the initial output image so displayed and the indicative input operation identifies an initial location on the initial output image from which all subsequent output image settings extend.
