Settings for various options in image processing jobs may be restricted or otherwise limited based on the settings for corresponding or different options selected in preceding image processing jobs. In one example, a user may wish to join a preceding job and a subsequent job into a single job for processing at one time. In such an example, the settings defined for options in the preceding job may affect selectable options or settings in the subsequent job. According to one aspect, multiple preceding jobs to be joined to a current subsequent job may have conflicting settings. Accordingly, a user may be requested to select one of the preceding jobs or one of the conflicting options to use for the subsequent job and the joint job.
