Sharp MX-4500N User Manual

Two machines connected to the same network can be used to run a large copy job in parallel.
Each machine prints half of the copies, reducing the time required to complete the job.

Master machine and slave machine
In the following explanation, the master machine is the machine that is used to scan the originals. The slave machine is 
another machine specified in the master machine that only helps print the copies; it is not used to scan the originals.

• To use this function, two machines must be connected to your network. Even if more machines are connected to the 

network, this function can only be used to have one other machine share a job.

• To use the tandem copy function, "Tandem Connection Setting" must be configured in the system settings (administrator).
• When configuring the system settings in the master machine, the IP address of the slave machine is required. For the 

port number, it is best to use the initial setting (50001). Unless you experience difficulty with this setting, do not 
change the port number. The tandem settings should be configured by your network administrator. If the master 
machine and slave machine will change roles, configure the IP address information of the master machine in the slave 
machine. Both machines can use the same port number.

Place the original face up in the document feeder tray, or face 
down on the document glass.
