Tandem Copier Kit - Kyocera Mita KM-7530 Operation Manual

Section 8 OPTIONAL EQUIPMENT

(6) Tandem Copier Kit

The Tandem Copier Kit is required when two copy machines are
connected together. By connecting two copy machines together, you
can make a large volume of copies using both machines at the same
time (tandem copying) or, if you also use the optional printer functions
of this copier, you can print to both machines at the same time
(tandem printing), thereby reducing the job time by half.
1 Features of the Tandem Copier Kit
• Jobs scanned at the copier or sent from a computer are divided
equally between the two machines.
• If, for any reason, whether it be mechanical trouble or when tandem
copying is terminated in one copier due to another job, any
remaining copying or printing that is required will be accomplished
automatically by whichever machine completes its current job first
(output recovery function). This will help you to increase your overall
copying and printing efficiency.
• It is possible to perform interrupt copying on the sub [slave] machine,
even during tandem copying, enabling you to make copies in a hurry
without having to have that job wait in a queue.
2 Operating requirements of the Tandem Copier Kit
• Copying is only possible in the sort mode.
• All jobs (number of copies/prints) will be divided equally between the
two machines.
• It is not possible to have copying start while the remaining originals
are still being scanned. Copying will only begin after all originals are
scanned.
• Interrupt copying is not possible during scanning for tandem copying
or tandem printing, or during transmission of print data from a
computer. (The operation panel is not available for use during this
time as well.)
• From the moment copying is initiated after scanning, interrupt
copying is only possible at the sub [slave] machine. (Interrupt
copying is not possible at the main [master] machine until after
copying is complete.)
• Tandem copying is not available if the internal memory or Hard Disk
are not usable for any reason.
