ABSTRACT:
A system comprising a mail processing apparatus includes a number of processing stations such as for instance a printer and an inserter. In addition, the system comprises a control system which controls at least one processing station for assembling sheets to form at least one document to be mailed or for processing received documents. The system further comprises at least one external diagnostic device separate from the mail processing apparatus and a communication channel between the control system and the diagnostic device. The control system is arranged for performing diagnostic tests for detecting, for instance, malfunctions, deviations in performance and/or required preventive maintenance in a processing station. The diagnostic device initializes via the communication channel the performance of said tests and/or receives the results of the tests for further processing.
