4. Connect Copy (Option)
What is Connect Copy?
Connect Copy is a feature that allows you to connect two machines together us-
ing a cable. When you set up your copy job on one machine (the master unit),
data is transferred to the other machine (the sub-unit) so that copies can be made
on both machines simultaneously.
Connect Copy benefits
Connect Copy provides the following benefits:
❖
High-speed copying for greater productivity
For large volume copy runs, two connected machines form a single system
that can complete the job in a shorter time. If two 70 copies/minute (A4

❖
Auto-backup system for less participation of operators
Even if one machine stops because of a paper jam, it has run out of toner, or
run out of paper, the other machine will take over and finish the job automat-
ically. If the stopped machine is recovered, the machines will allocate the job
again and continue using Connect Copy to complete the job in a way that re-
sults in maximum productivity.
