                     Representative independent claim 1 is reproduced as follows:                                       
                     1 .   A document processing control system having a memory,                                        
                     comprising:                                                                                        
                            (a)    a graphical user interface for facilitating the processing of                        
                     documents by a printing system, said graphical user interface including a                          
                     display with a selected portion in which an information set pertaining to                          
                     said processing of documents is displayed;                                                         
                            (b)    a memory manager for communicating a representation of the                           
                     information set to the selected portion of said graphical user interface                           
                     display, said memory manager determining whether the information set                               
                     includes information of a first type or information of a second type; and                          
                            (c)    wherein said memory manager uses a first information                                 
                     processing mode to control display of the information in the selected                              
                     portion of the graphical user interface display when the information set is                        
                     of the first type, and said memory manager uses a second information                               
                     processing mode to control display of the information set in the selected                          
                     portion of the graphical user interface when the information set is of the                         
                     second type.                                                                                       
                     The examiner relies on the following references:                                                   
                     Barker et al. (Barker)             4,723,211            Feb. 02, 1988                              
                     Motai                              5,850,220            Dec. 15, 1998

                     Claims 1-15 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. §103.  As evidence of obviousness,                      
              the examiner cites Barker in view of Lewchuk with regard to claims 1-3 and 5-15,                          
              adding Motai to this combination with regard to claim 4.
