Abstract
A page repositioning process for error recovery and operator repositioning requests, that is incorporated into advanced function printers and that provides for sheet specific error and operator recovery capability in an N-up printing environment without the need for reprinting the whole job. Recovery is handled by interrupting the normal print stream and reprinting pages as necessitated by either the error or operator request and subsequently resuming the printing of the remainder of the print stream. Recovery is handled on a sheetside basis assuring that the integral relationship of a given page to a sheet is maintained during and after the recovery process.
