Abstract
A printer includes multiple source trays, an output destination, and a media path. The media path couples the source trays to the output destination. Ordered media is loaded within one or more source trays. The printer is configured to automatically recover from a jam when processing the ordered media by selectively shedding selected ordered media from a source tray. A method of recovering from the jam includes generating a request that identifies the insertion order of selected ordered media, inserting the selected ordered media within an output; and purging selected ordered media when a jam occurs to provide a uniform output.
