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.

function?".
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.

This setting is used to hold a print job on the machine's local drive without printing
it.

sets from the operation panel of the machine. This prevents the occurrence of excessive
misprints.
