Abstract
A document processing system where system software interfaces with transport hardware is provided. A medium stores the system software which includes an API for application software. The system software further includes instructions for a track control module and an exception handler. The track control module creates an object for each read document. The object reports document completion to the application software. The application software requires that document completions be reported in the same order in which the objects were created. When a document jam occurs, the track control module identifies all documents involved in the jam, and for each document involved in the jam the track control module checks if all operations are complete and if the document entered the correct pocket, and sets a flag if both events are true. The exception handler hides the documents involved in the jam that have a set flag, but displays the others.
