Why does the Sharp Copier display “THE SYSTEM IS NOT CONFIGURED TO PERFORM TANDEM JOB. CODE: XX” and tandem copying fails?
Tandem copying will not work unless the same optional equipment is installed on both the main and sub copiers. Also, ensure that the settings for 'Disabling of Duplex Copying,' 'Disabling of Stapler,' and 'Disabling of Bypass-Tray When Offset Tray Selected' are identical on both copiers.

If a message appears on the touch panel of the sub copier, follow the instructions provided in that message to resolve the problem. This should allow tandem copying to start.
