Abstract
Disclosed are a multifunctional apparatus equipped with a jam recovery device and a selective jam recovery method. The multifunctional apparatus has an image forming unit enabling the apparatus to record image data onto a recordable medium. The multifunctional apparatus can record two types of data. When a page of a first type of data is stored in a page queue processor of the multifunctional apparatus and starts to be recorded onto a first page of a recordable medium, the page queue processor deletes the page of the first type of data according to whether the first page of the recordable medium has been successfully discharged from the multifunctional apparatus and, importantly, also according to a condition of a discharge error recovery function. However, when a page of a second type of data is stored in the page queue processor and starts to be recorded onto a second page of a recordable medium, the page queue processor deletes the page of the second type of data according only to whether the second page of the recordable medium has been successfully discharged, and not according to the condition of the discharge error recovery function. In other words, the page queue processor deletes the first type of data according to a condition of the discharge error recovery function. Whereas, the page queue processor deletes the second type of data without regard to the condition of the discharge error recovery function. When the page of the recordable medium is discharged successfully, the corresponding data is definitely removed from the page queue processor.
