• Scan the originals in order from the first page to the last page. The order of copying will be automatically adjusted by the machine. Four original pages will be copied onto each sheet of paper. Blank pages may be automatically produced at the end depending on the number of original pages.

• When a saddle stitch finisher is installed, saddle stitch can be used. When pamphlet copy is used in combination with the saddle stitch function and the number of originals is greater than the number of sheets that can be stapled, a message will appear showing the [Cancel] key, the [Continue] key, and the [Divide] key.

COPYING A LARGE NUMBER OF

ORIGINALS AT ONCE (Job Build)

When copying a very large number of originals, this function allows you to divide the originals into sets and feed each set through the automatic document feeder one set at a time.

Use this function when you wish to copy all of the originals as a single job but the number of originals exceeds the maximum number that can be inserted.

This function is convenient when you wish to sort copies of a large number of originals into multiple sets because all originals are copied as a single job, which saves you the trouble of sorting the copies that would be required if the originals were divided into separate copy jobs.

When scanning the original in sets, divide the sheets so that no set has more than the number of paper that can be loaded and then scan from the set with the first page. The settings that you select for the first set can be used for all remaining sets.

USING TWO MACHINES TO COPY A LARGE

NUMBER OF ORIGINALS (Tandem Copy)

Two machines connected to the same network can be used to run a large copy job in parallel.

Each machine prints half of the copies, reducing the time required to complete the job.

Master machine and slave machine

In the following explanation, the master machine is the machine that is used to scan the originals. The slave machine is another machine specified in the master machine that only helps print the copies; it is not used to scan the originals.

Master machine

2 sets of copies

4 sets of copies are made

2 sets of copies

Slave machine

Network environment

Before using tandem copy

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

• To use the tandem copy function, "Tandem Connection Setting" must be configured in the system settings (administrator).

• When configuring the system settings in the master machine, the IP address of the slave machine is required. For the port number, it is best to use the initial setting (50001). Unless you experience difficulty with this setting, do not change the port number. The tandem settings should be configured by your network administrator. If the master machine and slave machine will change roles, configure the IP address information of the master machine in the slave machine. Both machines can use the same port number.

• Up to 100 cover/insert sheets can be inserted. Note that two insert sheets cannot be inserted between the same pages.

• This function cannot be used in combination with the saddle stitch function.

• When performing 2-sided copying of 2-sided originals, an insert cannot be added between the front and reverse sides of an original page.
