Abstract: An image reproduction system and method for reproducing images on a support material. The system is provided with at least one image generator for generating images for reproduction, at least one electronic memory in which a set of images can be stored, a printing system for printing images stored in the memory on the support material. In response to a malfunction in the image generator, a control unit or control method provides the following control:the images of complete sets stored in the memory at the time of the malfunction are printed by the printing system the predetermined number of times and in the predetermined sequence; andimages stored in the memory at the time of the malfunction are not printed if these images belong to incomplete sets stored in the memory which were being generated at the time of the image generator malfunction.

Abstract: A reproducing device for reproducing images, such as a photocopier/printer, which has an interface that enables selection of a value for at least one predetermined parameter from among a predetermined set of possible values of the parameter. This parameter defines at least in part how at least one image is to be reproduced. The reproducing device includes: an image source, such as a scanner; a printer; the interface; and a controller for coordinating and controlling the image source, the printer, and the interface.
