About paper insertion settings 
When [Other Page] is selected for Insert Position, 
the insert position can be specified by directly 
entering a page number. However, inserts cannot 
be successively inserted at the same page. When 
Printing Method is set to [2-Sided], the specified 
page and the next page after it will be printed on the 
front and reverse side of the paper, and thus an 
insert setting at a page printed on the reverse side 
will not be effective.

PRINTING A CARBON COPY (Carbon Copy)
(This function is only available in Windows.)
This function is used to print an additional copy of the 
print image on paper that is the same size but from a

standard paper is loaded in tray 1 and coloured paper is 
loaded in tray 2, a print result similar to a carbon copy 
slip can be obtained with a single selection of the print 
command. As another example, if standard paper is 
loaded in tray 1 and recycled paper is loaded in tray 2, 
Carbon Copy can simultaneously print one copy for 
presentation and one copy as a duplicate.

JOB (Tandem Print)
This function requires the hard disk drive.
Two machines are required to use this function.
Tandem Print allows you to divide a large print job

machine configured in Tandem Connection Setting in 
the machines system settings (administrator) must be 
configured in the printer driver. In a Windows

Sample Print
When a print job is sent to the machine, only the first set of copies is printed. After checking the contents of the first set 
of copies, you can print the remaining sets from the operation panel of the machine. This prevents the occurrence of
