CONVENIENT PRINTER FUNCTIONS
USING TWO MACHINES TO PRINT A LARGE PRINT
JOB (Tandem Print)
(On the MX-2314N, the productivity kit is required.)
Two machines are required to use this function.
Tandem Print allows you to divide a large print job
between two machines connected to your network.
The machines simultaneously print each half of the job,
making it possible to shorten the printing time when
printing a large number of sets.
To use Tandem Print, the IP address of the slave
machine configured in "Tandem Connection Setting" in
the machine's system settings (administrator) must be
configured in the printer driver. In a Windows
environment, this can be accomplished automatically by
clicking the [Auto Configuration] button on the
[Configuration] tab of the printer driver. In a Macintosh
environment, this can be accomplished automatically by
clicking the [Tandem Settings] button.
(This function can be used when the PCL6 or PS printer driver is used.)
(1) Click the [Advanced] tab.
(2) Select the [Tandem Print] checkbox .
(1) Select [Tandem Print].
(2) Select the [Tandem Print] checkbox .
