SPECIAL MODES Tandem copy This function can only be used on the MX-M350N/MX-M450N, or when the network function has been added. 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. 100 sets of copies 50 sets of copies 50 sets of copies 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 administrator settings. (See page 13 of the administrator settings giude) ●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 in the client machine. The same port number can be set in both machines. To display the special modes screen...
