There is provided a system for a multifunctional printing system which controls a manner in which status message sets are displayed on a display screen of a corresponding user interface. As contemplated, a first service attribute designating set of information is displayed on the display screen at a first time and a second service attribute designating set of information is displayed on the display screen at a second time, with the second time being subsequent to the first time. In practice, a message manager determines whether a replacement operation has occurred with respect to the user interface such that a substantial portion of the first service attribute designating information set has been replaced visually by the second attribute designating information set. In response to determining that a replacement operation has occurred, at least a portion of a status message set currently being displayed is replaced with at least a portion of another status message set.
