Abstract

A controller for a fulfilment service operation is described in which the controller, before initiating fulfilment of the job, operates to determine if an authorised user is present at a fulfilment service device and to determine if the user intends to remain attendant at the fulfilment service device for the duration of fulfilment of the job. If the user moves away from the fulfilment service device, the controller operates to pause the job. If the user remains away from the fulfilment service device for a period of time, the controller operates to cancel the job.
