Using Two Copiers In Tandem - Konica Minolta bizhub pro 1050 User Manual

Using Two Copiers in Tandem

Tandem mode enables your primary (master) machine to work in tandem with the
secondary (tandem) machine 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.
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.
Service setting is required to use the tandem mode. Contact your service
representative, if desired.
Specifications for Tandem Mode

Initially, the tandem mode will be released automatically if Auto reset is
activated on the master machine; however, machine manager can set the
machine to activate the tandem mode as initial setting.
Apply this setting to the master machine only, if desired. Setting on both
copiers will deactivate the tandem mode.

the same user/section setting is required on both copiers. In this case, copying
will be available by entering the user/section password in the master machine

as to enable the copying operation. See POD Administrator's reference for
details of setting User Authentication function.
