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 (A4

" × 11"ùsize) copiers are connected together, a 130 copies/minute (A4ù,

" × 11"ùsize) speed will be available.

❖❖❖❖

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.

ù,

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

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.

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.

Functions Not Availabl e Wit h Connect Copy

The following functions are not available in Connect Copy mode:

• Next Job

• Book→1 Sided, Book→2 Sided, Multi→2 Sided, Booklet, Magazine

• Slip Sheet

• Double Copies

• Image Repeat

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.

Copy Output Order

When copying in Sort/Staple mode

E.g. copying 6-sets of a 3-sheet original

• Copying with the master unit (face-down output) — sub-unit (face-down output)

When using Sort/Staple, your copies sets are not split between the master unit and sub-unit.

When copying without Sort/Staple mode

E.g. making 2 copies of each page of a 6–sheet original

• Copy with the master unit (facedown output) — sub-unit (faceup output)

❒ When using the Sort/Staple fea-

ture, copies are organized into copy sets. If there is a paper jam in one machine during this process, it is not possible for the other machine to take over the copy set processing of the down machine.

Differences Between Standard Copy Functions And Connect Copy Functions

This section explains the differences between standard copy functions and those used with Connect Copy.

Basic Functions

Adjusting Copy Image Density

Make adjustments to copy image density on the master unit.

Note

❒ You can adjust copy image density

on the master unit while scanning originals, but the change will be reflected from the next copying.

❒ The image density level set on the

master unit will be used by both units. However, in order to produce similar images on both units, make sure the “Original Mode Quality Level” settings are the same on each unit. If they are not the same, the finish of images may differ.

Reference

Refer to “Original Mode Quality Level” of the User Tools (Copy Features) in the “Copy Reference” manual.

Refer to “Adjusting Copy Image Density”of the User Tools (Copy Features) in the “Copy Reference” manual.

Selecting Original Type Setting

Select an original type that matches your original on the master unit.

Reference

Refer to “Selecting Original Type Setting” in the “Copy Reference” manual.

Selecting Copy Paper

Use the master unit to select the paper you wish to copy onto.

Preparation

We recommend that the master unit and sub-unit have the same paper tray settings. This is because only paper trays with the same size, direction, and type of paper can be used in Connect Copy mode.

If several trays with the same paper settings are available in the sub-unit, paper will be supplied from the tray specified by the “Paper Tray Priority”of the User Tools (Copy Features).

Note

❒ After you touch the

to enter Connect Copy mode, only paper trays common to the master unit and sub-unit will be selectable. Other paper tray keys will be greyed out and you cannot select them.

❒ If you turn “Auto Tray Switching”

User Codes

If the User Codes function is turned on in the master unit, operators must input their user code before they can use the machine. The machine also keeps count of the number of copies made under each code.
