tandem slave machine.
Disabling of Master Machine Mode
To prohibit tandem transmission, enable this setting. 
(There is normally no need to enable this setting.)
Disabling of Slave Machine Mode
To prohibit tandem reception, enable this setting. (There 
is normally no need to enable this setting.)
Detect Standard in Auto Colour 
Mode
When the colour mode is set to auto in copy mode, the 
discrimination point for detecting whether originals are 
colour or black and white can be set to one of 5 levels. 
To make it easier to detect a black and white original, 
adjust the setting toward [Black & White]. To make it 
easier to detect a colour original, adjust the setting 
toward [Colour].
Registration Adjustment
If the colours are out of place on the printed surface 
when colour printing is performed, the print positions of 
the colours can be adjusted.
To perform this adjustment, touch the [Auto Adjustment] 
key. A message will appear. Touch the [Execute] key.
Optimization of a Hard Disk
(When the hard disk drive is installed.)
This function optimizes the hard drive of the machine by 
defragmenting data. If a job is in progress, a message 
will appear and optimization will not begin until the job is 
finished. During optimization, the following operations 
are not possible:
 Web page access, reception of print data
 Use of keys on the operation panel
 Turning off the power with the main power switch of 
the machine.
 Auto Power Shut-Off
When optimization is completed, the machine will 
automatically restart.
Clear All Job Log Data
(When the hard disk drive is installed.)
This is used to clear the entire job log. (There is normally 
no need to use this function.)
A log file is kept of jobs run on the machine. The job log 
can be used to check general use of the machine. The 
job log can be written to a computer in CSV format using 
a Web browser.
 The factory default setting for the port number is 
[50001]. Unless you experience difficulty with this 
setting, do not change the port number.
 To use the tandem function when user 
authentication is enabled, the same login name and 
password must be used on both the master 
machine and slave machine. If the same login name 
and password are not used, the page count may not 
be added to the appropriate user count or only the 
master machine may print.
When the document filing function is frequently used 
and output of files seems somewhat slow, optimizing 
the hard drive may improve performance.
