Abstract
A document processing apparatus that utilizes a plurality of resources, such as CRT displays and printers, are provided. A control system can determine if a resource has a fault and can select an alternative resource if it is capable of providing a functional output to the user. The control system can further determine if a resource is faulty but will not interfere with the data processing and can accordingly continue the operation of the document processing apparatus.
