A copy operator selects one cassette according to desired copy size. Copy paper is fed out of the selected cassette and if a paper jam occurs during copying operation, a display (e.g. M) showing the occurrence of the paper jamming in the machine and a display (e.g. N) showing that the upper part of the machine is opened whereas a cassette figure corresponding to the selected cassette for paper feeding is erased are turned on and loff alternately. Consequently, the operator is indicated to draw the selected cassette out and open the upper part of the machine.
