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.
- Connect the two copiers directly using a crossover cable. In this case,
other network functions provided to the copier will be unavailable.
- Connect each of the two copiers to the hub in a network using straight-
through cables.

Details
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:
- The combination of the two copiers can be either the two VarioPrint 1105
copiers, two VarioPrint 1105 printers, or VarioPrint 1105 copier and
VarioPrint 1105 printer.
- Two copiers should have the same optional configuration.
- The copier with the [Tandem] key highlighted on the Output Application
Screen will be the master machine, turning both copiers into the tandem
mode.
- Select the copying conditions, scan originals, and press [Start] on the
master machine to operate both copiers in tandem to complete a job.

- 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.
