Method for eliminating a paper jam of an image forming system and apparatus therefor

DETAILED DESCRIPTION Accordingly, it is therefore one object of the present invention to provide an improved apparatus and process for clearing jams of sheets of paper within image forming systems.
It is another object to provide a simplier process and apparatus for removing a paper jam along a paper conveyancing path of an image forming system.
It is yet another object to provide a more practical process and apparatus for clearing a paper jam occurring along the paper conveyancing path of an image forming system.
It is still another object to provide a process and apparatus for reducing the exposure of light and the occurrence of vibrations and shock generated when correcting a paper jam along the paper conveyancing path of an image forming system.
It is still yet another object to provide a method and apparatus for correcting a paper jam in an image forming system without the necessity of opening and closing the cover of the unit.
It is a further object of the present invention to provide a method and apparatus enabling correction of a paper jam in an image forming system by removing and re-inserting a paper cassette into the unit.
These and other objects may be achieved in accordance with one aspect of the present invention by, upon determination of the likelihood of an occurrence of a paper jam along the paper conveyancing path of all image forming unit, then making a determination about whether a paper cassette has been removed and re-inserted.
If the paper cassette has been removed and re-inserted, a paper jam eliminating mode is implemented to thereby correct a paper jam within the
