Using Two Copiers in Tandem
Tandem mode enables your 7255/7272 primary (master) copier to work in
tandem with the 7255/7272 secondary (sub) copier for the purpose of
providing faster completion of large copying jobs. Two units working in
tandem distribute a job in half the time of non-tandem mode.
Service setting is required to use the tandem mode. Contact your service
representative, if desired.

❒
The two copiers should be connected in either way described below.
(1)Connect the two copiers directly using a crossover cable. In this case,
other network functions provided to the copier will be unavailable.
(2)Connect each of the two copiers to the hub in a network using straight-
through cables.
Use the straight-through or crossover cables of Category 5 or of the later
standard to connect the machines.
❒
The combination of the two copiers can be either the same models (two
7255 copiers or two 7272 copiers) or different models (7255 and 7272).
❒
Two copiers should have the same optional configuration except for the
option tray (LT-402/LT-412).
❒
Two copiers should be turned on and ready for copying.
