USING TWO MACHINES TO REDUCE THE
COPY TIME
Tandem copy
COPYING
This function shares a copy job half-and-half between two machines connected to the network,
enabling the reduction of the copy time.
Master machine and slave machine
The master machine performs only scanning, and a slave machine registered in the master
machine performs only printing without scanning the original.
To use this function, two machines must be connected to your network.
Even if more machines are connected to the network, this function can only be
used to have one other machine share a job.
To use Tandem Copy, select [Tandem Connection Setting] in "Setting mode".
To configure the tandem connection setting, register IP address information of
the slave machine in the master machine. For the port number, it is best to use
the initial setting (50001). Unless you experience difficulty with this setting, do
not change the port number. The tandem setting should be configured by your
network administrator. If the master machine and slave machine will switch roles,
configure the IP address of the master machine in the slave machine. The same
port number can be used for both machines.
In this situation:
A saddle finisher is installed in the master machine while not installed in a slave
machine.
Tandem Copy is enabled when specifying copies without stapling.
