5. Connect Copy
This chapter describes how to make copies using two machines connected via the Copy Connector
(optional).
What is Connect Copy?
Connect Copy allows you to connect two machines together via a cable.
When you set up a copy job on one machine (the main machine), data is transferred to the other (the sub-
machine) so copies can be made on both simultaneously.
High-speed copying for greater productivity
Large volume copy runs can be completed in shorter time. For example: when connected together,
two Type 2 machines can make 150 copies per minute in black and white mode, or 140 copies per
minute in full color mode (A4 , 8
1
/
2
× 11 paper size).
Reducing time loss
Even if one machine stops due to a paper jam, or runs out of toner or paper, the other machine can
automatically take over and finish the job.
How It Works
After the original is scanned, the data is stored on the hard disk of the main machine. As soon as the main
machine starts copying, the data is transferred to the hard disk of the sub-machine, and the sub-machine
then starts copying.
