USING TWO MACHINES TO PRINT A LARGE PRINT JOB
(TANDEM PRINT)
To use this function, two
machines that can perform tandem printing are required.
Two machines connected to the same network are used to run
a large print job in parallel. This function reduces the printing
time when you handle a large number of prints.
Example: Printing four sets of copies (2 set of copies are
executed by the primary unit and secondary unit each)
This function is available in a Windows environment.
To use the tandem print function, the IP address
of the secondary unit must be registered in the printer driver.
Windows
- Click the [Detailed Settings] tab.
- Select [On] in "Tandem Print".
The tandem print function can be used only when
the printer driver has been installed using "Custom Installation"
with [LPR Direct Print (Specify Address/Auto Search)] selected and
with the [Yes] checkbox selected for "Do you want to use
Tandem Print function?".
SAVING AND USING PRINT FILES (DOCUMENT FILING)
This function stores a print job as a file
on the machine's local drive, allowing the job to be printed from
the touch panel when needed. The location for storing a file can
be selected to prevent the file from being mixed together with files
of other users.
- Hold Only
This setting is used to hold a print job on
the machine's local drive without printing it.
- Hold After Print
This setting is used to hold a print job on
the machine's local drive after it is printed.
- Sample Print
When a print job is sent to the machine, only
the first set of copies is printed. After checking the contents
of the first set of copies, you can print the remaining sets from
the operation panel of the machine. This prevents the occurrence
of excessive misprints.

from a PC, you can set a password (4 to 8 digits) to maintain the
