Tandem Mode Operation

Tandem mode enables your primary (master) copier to work in tandem with the 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.

>>>Speciﬁcations for Tandem Mode<<<

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. Two copiers should have the same optional conﬁguration except for the Large Capacity Cassette. Two copiers should be turned on and ready for copying. The copier with the TANDEM key highlighted on the Output Mode popup menu will be the primary (master) copier, turning both copiers into the tandem mode. Select the copying conditions, scan originals, and press [ primary copier to operate both copiers in tandem to complete a job. Print quantity must be set for [2] or more copies to activate the tandem mode. When the print quantity entered is an odd number, the primary copier will copy and output one sheet/set more than the secondary copier to accommodate the job. Auto low power/Auto shut-off may function while tandem mode is selected.

• If the tandem mode is selected while the secondary copier is in Auto low

power mode, the energy saving mode will be released automatically.

• The tandem mode will not be selected when the secondary copier is

turned off by Auto shut-off. Release the Auto shut-off mode by pressing [

Energy Saver ].

• If Auto low power is activated on the secondary copier during the tandem

job setting, the energy saving mode will be released automatically when printing job starts.

• If Auto shut-off is activated on the secondary copier during the tandem job

setting, the tandem mode will be released automatically.

• If Auto low power/Auto shut-off is activated on the primary copier, the

tandem mode will be released automatically. Panel reset may function while tandem mode is selected. Initially, the tandem mode will be released automatically if Panel reset is activated on the primary copier. Key operator can set the primary copier to select the tandem mode as initial setting. Apply this setting to the primary copier only, if desired. Setting on both copiers will deactivate the tandem mode.
