The method of purging undesirable copy sheets from an image processing apparatus having a xerographic process for producing images on copy sheets, the apparatus including a plurality of copy sheet sources, a copy sheet drive, a purged copy sheet location, and a controller for directing the xerographic process, including the steps of monitoring the timer for a given time period; detecting by the controller said given time period; checking the copy sheet sources for the presence of a purgeable copy sheet; responding to the detection of said given time period and the checking of the copy sheet sources to operate the copy sheet drive, and purging undesirable copy sheets to the purged copy sheet location.
