A method of detecting the lengths of normal operation time and downtime, and at least approximate causes for downtime, of a printing press during each preassigned period of production time.

The control signals are sequentially recorded in the form of corresponding, visually identifiable marks. A visual examination of the marking provides the desired data. There is also disclosed herein a recorder of typical construction for recording the signals in the practice of the inventive method.
