Abstract
Digital processing of images (i.e. scanning or printing) in a network system including digital image processing devices provided with operating means and a display may be impeded or even be impossible, when a device selected for processing a job does not have the capabilities required for processing that job in accordance with the job settings. If such a situation arises, the selected device automatically checks if any of the other devices can process the job in accordance with the job settings and if so, it displays advice on at least one of such devices on its display, so that an operator is informed, where he can have his job done properly.
