Tandem copy, Server machine and client machine

SPECIAL MODES

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.
