ABSTRACT:
A copying or printing machine comprising a microcomputer, a memory having a sequence control program for accomplishing copying or printing operation, and a processing unit operative for reproducing a copy. The copying machine is provided with a delivering device for delivering the copy, a sorter for sorting successive copies delivered from the delivering device and a jam detector for detecting a jamming of a copy in the sorter. The delivering device is covered with a cover which may be opened so that an operator may access the delivery device.
When a malfunction in the sorter is detected by the jam detector, the microcomputer stops the operation of the copying machine. It is necesary for the operator to remove the copy detected by the jam detector and to close the cover after opening it once for restarting the operation of the copying machine. The microcomputer enables the copying machine to restart after it detects that the copy detected by the jam detector is cleared and the cover is closed.
