■ Changing the copy settings for each set of originals

When using job build mode, you can change the copy settings each time you place a set of originals.
After performing step 4 on page 5-8, follow the steps below.

The copy settings that
can be selected are
"EXPOSURE", "PAPER
SELECT", and "COPY
RATIO".
If you touch the [READ-
END] key now, copying
will begin without
scanning the new set of
originals.

NOTES
● If the original size was set manually at the beginning of the job build procedure, it will not be possible to change

the original size setting. If the automatic original detection function is operating, the original size will be detected
for each set of originals placed.

● When the bypass tray is selected, it is not possible to change the paper type.
● If "XY ZOOM" was initially set for the ratio, it will not be possible to change the ratio setting.
● When job build mode is used in combination with any of the following functions, the [CHANGE] key will not

appear in the screen of step 5.
Pamphlet copy, tandem copy, covers/inserts, transparency inserts, multi-shot, book copy, tab copy, staple sort,

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.

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 14 of the "Administrator settings
guide")

●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.

The [TANDEM COPY]
key will be highlighted to
indicate that the function
is turned on, and the
tandem copy icon (

)

will appear in the upper
left of the screen.

You will return to the
main screen of copy
mode.

Up to 999 copies can be
set. When the [START]
key is pressed, the
copies will automatically
be divided between the
server and client
machines. If an odd

number of copies is set, the server machine will
make the extra set.

NOTES
● To perform tandem copying, the server machine

and client machine must meet certain conditions.

After the [START] key is pressed on the server
machine, the server machine verifies that the
conditions have been met. If the conditions have
not been met, tandem copying does not begin
and "TANDEM OUTPUT IS NOT ALLOWED.
OUTPUT ALL SETS USING MASTER
MACHINE?" appears in the display. To have the
server machine make all the copies, touch the
[OK] key. To cancel the job, touch the [CANCEL]
key.
• As an example, the following conditions must

be met when a staple finisher is installed on the
server machine and not on the client machine:
(1) If tandem copying  is executed for a two-

sided copy job with the number of copies
set to 999 and "Non-staple" is selected,
tandem copying will take place.

(2) If tandem copying  is executed for a two-

sided copy job with the number of copies
set 

to 

999 and "Staple" is selected,

tandem copying will not take place
because the client machine does not have
a finisher.

● After the [START] key is pressed, if the client

machine cannot print because it is out of paper or
other reason, the server machine will print its half
of the job. The other half of the job will be stored in
the client machine and the job will be printed when
the client machine is able to print.

● If auditing mode is enabled on both the server and

client machines, the same account number must
be entered on both machines.

● If auditing mode is enabled on the client machine

but not on the server machine, tandem copying
cannot be performed.

To cancel the tandem copy function, touch the
[TANDEM COPY] key on the special modes screen
(step 1). The highlighted display will be cancelled.

A different type of paper can be inserted in positions corresponding to front and back covers of a copy job when the
automatic document feeding function is used. A different type of paper can also be automatically added as an insert
at specified pages.
As an example, tabbed paper can be added as inserts at the beginning of chapters or at other pages to create an
indexed document.
● Covers/inserts can be disabled in the administrator settings (page 11 of the administrator settings guide).

Example of adding covers

Example of adding covers and inserts

Example of adding inserts

There are various ways of using covers and inserts.
To keep the explanations simple, covers and inserts
are explained separately. The procedure for
inserting covers is explained on page 5-13. The
procedure for adding inserts is explained on page 5-
14. After reading these explanations, see the
examples of using covers and inserts on pages 5-
17 to 5-22.

■ Preparations for using covers and inserts

● Load the cover/insert paper in the tray before using the cover/insert function.
● Use the same size of paper for the covers/inserts as for the copies. (For the procedures for loading paper, see

pages 2-2 to 2-17.)

● Before selecting the cover/insert function, place the originals in the document feeder, select one-sided or two-

sided copying, and select the number of copies and any other desired copy settings as explained on pages 4-
7 to 4-10. When these settings have been completed, perform the procedure to select covers/inserts on the
following page.

● The original must be scanned from the document feeder. The document glass cannot be used.
● Tabbed paper can be used for cover/ inserts, however, two-sided copying cannot be performed on the tabbed

paper. Tabbed paper can be fed from the bypass tray, tray 3, and the inserter. The other trays cannot be used.

● Up to 100 covers/inserts can be inserted. Two covers/inserts cannot be inserted between the same pages.
● Pamphlet copying cannot be used in combination with covers/inserts.
● When performing two-sided copying of two-sided originals, an insert cannot be added between the front and

back sides of an original page.
