COPIER►OTHER FUNCTIONS
USING TWO MACHINES TO REDUCE THE COPY TIME
(TANDEM COPY)
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 client machine
The master machine performs only scanning, and a client 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 configure the tandem connection setting, register IP address information of the client 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
client machine will switch roles, configure the IP address of the master machine in the client machine. The same port
number can be used for both machines.
• In this situation:
A saddle stitch finisher is installed in the master machine while not installed in a client machine.
• Tandem Copy is enabled when specifying copies without stapling.
• Tandem Copy is disabled when specifying copies with stapling.
As shown here, if Tandem Copy is enabled using a function provided in the master machine and not provided in a client
machine, a message will appear.
• If a machine runs out of paper
If either the master machine or the client machine run out of paper, the machine that ran out of paper will hold the job while
the machine that still has paper continues the job. When paper is added to the machine that ran out, the job resumes.
• If user authentication is specified
• Tandem Copy is enabled when user authentication is specified in the master machine.
• Tandem Copy is disabled when user authentication is specified in the client machine while it is not specified in the master
machine.
• If an odd number of sets is being made, one more set is output to the master machine.
To use Tandem Copy:
In "Settings (administrator)", select [System Settings] → [Common Settings] → [Device Control] → [Tandem Connection
Setting].
