1. OVERVIEW
What Is Connect Copy?
Connect Copy is a feature that allows you to connect two copiers together using
a cable. When you set up your copy job on one unit (the master unit), data is
transferred to the other unit (the sub-unit) so that copies can be made on both
machines simultaneously.
Connect Copy Benefits
Connect Copy provides the following benefits:
❖❖❖❖
High-speed copying for greater productivity
For large volume copy runs, two connected machines form a single system
that can complete the job in a shorter time. If two 65 copies/minute (A4K,
1
8
/
" × 11"Ksize) copiers are connected together, a 130 copies/minute (A4K,
2
1
/
" × 11"Ksize) speed will be available.

2
❖❖❖❖
Auto-backup system for less participation of operators
Even if one copier stops because of a paper jam, it has run out of toner, or run
out of paper, the other unit will take over and finish the job automatically. If
the stopped machine is recovered, the units will allocate the job again and
continue using Connect Copy to complete the job in a way that results in maximum productivity.

OVERVIEW
Note
❒ You cannot make other copy jobs when the two units are connected.
❒ The two machines automatically share the job in order to finish at almost
the same time and get the maximum productivity.
❒ To use the two copiers separately again, touch the
nect them.

How Connect Copy Works
How Connect Copy Works
In this manual we refer to the two copiers as the master unit and sub-unit respectively.
1. Master Unit
2. Sub-Unit
As your original is scanned in, the image data is stored on the master unit hard
disk and transferred simultaneously to the sub-unit hard disk. As soon as scanning has finished, copying starts.
1
The master unit is the copier at which you touch the [
nect Copy mode. When you do this, the other copier becomes the sub-unit. You
can use either machine as the master unit or sub-unit, but you cannot change the
relationship without exiting Connect Copy mode first.

• You can still use Connect Copy even if no optional finisher or large capacity
tray (LCT) is available. However, the optional finisher must be installed in
both units in order to use the Stack and Staple functions, and the optional finisher and punch kit must be installed in both units in order to use the Punch
function.

Interrupt, Printer and Document Server Functions In Connect
Copy Mode
• Connect Copy only supports the copy feature.
• You cannot use Connect Copy when a job has been paused using the Interrupt feature.
• You can use the Interrupt feature on the sub-unit while in Connect Copy
mode, but only when the master unit is not scanning originals.
• You cannot use the Printer or Document Server functions in Connect Copy
mode no matter how the “Output Priority” of the User Tools (System Settings) is programmed.
• You cannot switch to the Printer or Document Server functions while in Connect Copy mode. To access these functions you must exit Connect Copy
mode.
Before You Start
Both units must have paper trays loaded with paper of the same size, direction
and type that you wish to copy onto.
To make the most out of the Connect Copy feature, we recommend that:
• The paper tray settings of the master unit and sub-unit match each other.
• The “Original Mode Quality Level” of the User Tools (Copy Features) settings
should be the same on each unit. If they are not the same, the copied images
may differ. Refer to the “Original Mode Quality Level” of the User Tools
(Copy Features) in the “Copy Reference” manual.
