Abstract
An apparatus for use with an office machine for allowing operational conditions of the machine to be set up with ease and promoting easy handling of a menu sheet on which information for selecting the operational conditions are to be written. An operator can condition the machine for desired operation modes simply by marking a menu sheet and then inserting it in a menu sheet reader. Even when the menu sheet jams a transport path defined in the menu sheet reader, for example, it can be dealt with by simple processing.
