Abstract: A method of ejecting copy sheets from the compiler in a printing apparatus that includes a processing section (2) for transferring a developed image onto a copy sheet and a finishing section (8) with a compiler (96) and a stapler (140) for receiving plural copy sheets to generate a print set. In particular, the level of copy sheets in a compiler tray (128) is sensed, a tag in non-volatile memory indicating a number of allowable extra copy sheets in the compiler is monitored, and a capacity count for sheets to be stapled is referenced. In response, a set of copy sheets may be ejected from the compiler (96) in an unscheduled manner as a function of the level of copy sheets in the compiler tray (128), the tag in non-volatile memory, and the capacity count for sheets to be stapled. This enables the finisher to complete a set that might have been prematurely ejected or enables the finisher to eject a set before reaching a jam condition.
