WORKFLOW TO ALLOW CONTINUED PRINTING IN PRESENCE OF SEVERE PRINTER ERROR

摘要

Exemplary apparatuses herein comprise, for example, a printing apparatus that includes processing elements, such as printing elements, a media path positioned to supply sheets of media to the printing elements, a media storage device maintaining the sheets of media and providing the sheets of media to the media path, a processor device operatively connected to the media storage device and the media path, and a graphic user interface operatively connected to the processor device. The processor device monitors operations of the media storage device and the media path to detect media path faults. The processor device evaluates the media path faults to determine the severity of the media path faults. The processor device performs the bypass operation based on a combination of at least one of the media path faults exceeding a previously established severity level and the user-selectable bypass option on the graphic user interface being selected.
