12.11 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.
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.

Detail
Auto reset may function while tandem mode is selected.
Initially, the tandem mode will be released automatically if Auto reset is
activated on the master machine; however, administrator can set the ma-
chine 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.
To use the User Authentication function on the two copiers in tandem
mode, the same user/account authentication is required on both copiers.
In this case, copying will be available by entering the user/account pass-
word in the master machine only. The password will be transmitted to the
tandem machine automatically so as to enable the copying operation.
See "3 User Authentication/Account Track" on page 18-76 for details of
setting User Authentication function.
