Tandem Print - Sharp AR-PB2A Operation Manual

Tandem Print

If the printer model has the tandem copy/print feature and is connected with another copier of the
same model through the tandem-connection cable so that the tandem copy feature can be used, the
tandem print feature can be used. For printing multiple sets, two printers can be used
simultaneously, allowing printing to be twice as fast as printing on one printer.
To execute tandem print, select this feature on the printer driver setting screen (Advanced tab in the
Windows system, print conditions setting in the Macintosh system (page 27)).
•
If the printers are equipped with optional equipment, the two printers must be equipped with the
same optional equipment. A dedicated tandem-connection cable AR-CA1 is required for tandem
print.
•
Paper tray selection in the printer driver must be 'Auto Select'.
•
Different first page, transparency inserts, and confidential print are not available.
NOTES
If the printers are connected to the network, print data must be sent to the main printer for tandem print. If the data
is sent to the sub printer, the data will be output without using the tandem print feature.
For tandem printing, the operation settings of the two copier/printers must be the same. For details on these
settings, see the section of Tandem Copy in the copier operation manual.
To cancel tandem printing after starting, press the "OFFLINE" key on the main printer. Then press the CLEAR key
on the main printer.
Key operator program settings in tandem print
The key operator programs (page 40) can be set on the main printer and on the sub printer
respectively. Depending on the key operator programs, however, the settings on the main printer
may have priority or the settings may function only on the main printer.
1. Key operator programs of which settings on the main printer are given priority (the settings on the
sub printer are ignored):
Printer Exposure Level, Output Method When Memory is Full, and Prohibit Auto Tray Switching
2. Key operator programs that function only on the main printer:
Prohibit Notice Page Printing (Even if notice page printing is enabled, notice pages will be not
output on the sub printer.)
Prohibit Rotated Output (Even if rotated output is enabled, rotated output will not be performed on
the sub printer.)
In case of the other key operator programs than mentioned above, different settings on the main and
sub printers respectively do not matter even when the tandem printing is activated.
