I have a customer who is interested in getting set up for tandem printing. According to Les Olson (Using two machines (same series) to print a large print job (Tandem Print)) you can do it. However, when I install the drivers for an AR-M 620n and an AR-M 700n, I cant get it to print in tandem. I have tried with the PS driver and the PCL6 driver. I have also tried using MX-M620 and MX-M700 drivers and I still cant get it to print. Any suggestions?

Re: tandem printing in the same series
The port must be the SC2 TCP/IP port. A standard TCP/IP port will not give you the tandem option.

Re: tandem printing in the same series
Do you set up NETWORK SETTING/TANDEM SETTING from "Key operator program menu"
See page 5-7 of the "Operation manual(for printer)":
Tandem setting
This setting is used to configure the IP address and
port number of the client printer when you wish to have
two machines (which are used as TCP/IP network
printers) print in tandem.
The factory default setting for the port number is
[50001]. Unless you experience difficulty with this
setting, it does not need to be changed.
The tandem function can also be prohibited, or the
reception of tandem data from the other machine can
be prohibited. (Normally this is not necessary.)
To prohibit the tandem function, select "DISABLING
OF MASTER MACHINE MODE".
To prohibit reception of tandem data from the other
machine, select "DISABLING OF SLAVE MACHINE
MODE".Comment
