Dual Connect Copying
Dual Connect Copying option allows you to connect two copiers together and effectively double your copy volume in the same amount of time.
The master copier acts as your primary copier and the other copier as your secondary copier. Whichever copier is selected first, becomes the master or primary copier. After the originals are scanned into the master copier, the copying begins. Each copier copies the required copy job, thereby cutting the copy time in half.
For example; if you were to print 70 copies from just one copier, it would take one minute. However, if you use Dual Connect Copying and were to print 140 copies, it would take one minute to print, as 70 copies would be printed from each copier.
You can use Interrupt Copying during a copy job when using Dual Connect Copying. See “Interrupt Copying” on page

•The Display Panel shows: Connect Copying.
•After all originals are scanned, copying begins.
•If the copy quantity is an odd number, the extra copy is copies on the master copier.
For example: Copy quantity of 5 is selected. Three copies are printed on the master copier and two copies are printed on the secondary copier.
