Abstract
The subject application is directed to a document processing device user interface system and method having functional controls specified by device attribute querying. A plurality of components associated with a document processing device is queried, and device information data corresponding to operational characteristics of each component is received in accordance with the query. Device operation data corresponding to a selected document processing operation is then received via an associated user interface and is compared relative to the device operation data. Indicia is generated on the user interface display corresponding to controls of a subset of the components based upon the comparison output. Secondary selection data corresponding to selected indicia on the display is received, and the selected document processing operation is commenced in accordance with the received secondary selection data.
