Using Two Copiers in Tandem

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 option
cassette (9933/9932).
❒ 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 [ Start ] on the 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 power 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.
❒ The machine is provided with an Allocation recovery mode, which functions when
trouble occurs in either the primary or secondary copier to allow the trouble-free
copier to complete the job.
❒ When the two copiers in tandem mode have the same ECM password registered,
copying will be available by entering the ECM password in the primary copier only.
The password will be transmitted to the secondary copier.
❒ Interrupt copying is available only on the copier with [ Interrupt ] pressed.
