Abstract
A system for use with a document processor enabling the detection of jamming at its inception, prevention of additional jamming and routing of documents in the processor to selected pockets. When jamming conditions are detected, the receipt of further documents through the machine feeder into the processor is stopped, documents already in the processor which are located upstream from the point where jamming has occurred are routed to their proper pockets if they belong in upstream pockets, documents downstream from the point where jamming has occurred are routed to their proper pockets, and the remaining documents are routed to a pocket designated to receive missorted documents. Displays are illuminated to indicate jamming and to identify pockets into which missorted documents have been routed.
