Abstract
A recording apparatus has a printer mechanism for printing images successively on sheets of copying paper, and an image control circuit for delivering image information controllably to the printer mechanism so as to enable the latter to print the images successively. The image control circuit includes a plurality of page memories each for storing image information per single page, a first changeover switch for writing image information selectively into the page memories, and a second changeover switch for reading image information selectively from the page memories. When a sheet of copying paper is jammed in the printer mechanism, a microcomputer system controls the second changeover switch to select a switching mode to read an item of image information out of one of the page memories which stores the item of information to be printed on the jammed sheet of copying paper, for thereby allowing the image to be printed in a shorter period of time after paper jam clearance.
