ABSTRACT:
A system and method are provided for correcting a hang condition caused by an unanticipated exception during a printing process. The method may include providing a set of predetermined rules according to which the print process modules interact to control the printing process. The method further may include monitoring, from a self-correcting module, a state of each of a plurality of the print process modules. The method may also include determining that the printing device is hung during a printing process, based on at least one predetermined rule and the state of at least one print process module, and setting the state of at least one print process module to a default condition.
