Tandem copy

Two machines connected to the same network can be used to run a large copy job in parallel. By dividing the job in half, approximately half the time is required to complete the job.

To use this function, two machines must be connected to your network as network printers. Even if more machines are connected to the network, this function can only be used to have one other machine share a job.

Server machine and client machine
In the following explanations, the machine on which
the copy job is initially set up and tandem copy
selected is called the server machine. The other
machine that is asked to share the job is called the
client machine.
To use the tandem copy function, the tandem
settings must be configured in the key operator
programs. (See page 5-7 of the "Operation manual
(for printer)")
When configuring the tandem settings in the server
machine, the IP address of the client machine must
be entered. For the port number, it is best to use the
initial setting (50001). Unless you experience
difficulty with this setting, do not change it. The
tandem settings should be configured by your
network administrator. If the server and client
machines will alternate server and client roles, the IP
address of the server machine must also be entered	5
in the client machine. The same port number can be
set in both machines.
