Thank you for purchasing the FO-2600! In addition to providing you with the ease and convenience of plain-paper printing, the FO-2600 features a variety of special functions designed to increase the range and power of your communications.

This manual gives you easy-to-follow instructions for installing and using your new fax. The Table of Contents will show you where instructions for using each feature are located. Whilst you may not need to read every section in detail at first, we recommend that you at least look over them briefly.

If you have any questions or problems which cannot be solved by reading this manual, please contact your Sharp dealer.

◆ Keys, switches, and labels on the machine are indicated in BOLD print.
◆ Messages appearing in the display are indicated in CAPITAL LETTERS.

- Your fax machine and the telephone system

Your Sharp FO-2600 Facsimile Transceiver is approved for connection to the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN), it is also approved for connection via a Private Branch Exchange (PBX), and can be used with either Loop Disconnect (LD) or Dual Tone Multi-Frequency (DTMF) signalling.

Your facsimile machine is not suitable as an extension to some payphones or for use on shared service lines.

REN

The Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) of your fax machine is 1.

The total number of instruments that can be connected to an exclusive line is determined by adding the REN values of each instrument. The total should not exceed 4.0. A telephone provided by BT is assumed to have a REN of 1 unless otherwise marked.

Satisfactory ringer operation can not be guaranteed in installations consisting of mixed apparatus types, even if the REN value does not exceed 4.

Emergency services

Emergency services (999) can be called from this apparatus. Please display on the telephone the number required to access that service, together with the number of the telephone, using the label provided.

◆ Private branch exchange (PBX) connection

Your facsimile machine is approved for connection to the Public Telephone Network (PSTN) via compatible PBX systems. Consult your supplier for a list of suitable PBX systems. It cannot be guaranteed that this facsimile machine will operate correctly under all possible conditions of connection to compatible PBX systems.

This facsimile machine has been approved for use of the following facilities:

Simple telephone

Tone dialling (DTMF)

Loop disconnect (Pulse dialling)

Memory dialling

Loudspeaking (Call Progress Monitor)

On-hook dialling

Automatic answering

Automatic dialling

Automatic clearing

Last number redial

Time break or Earth recall

Series connection of extension telephone(s)

Any other usage will invalidate the approval of the facsimile if as a result it then ceases to comply with the standards against which approval was granted.

Series connection

When connected via series apparatus, difficulties may occasionally be experienced when making calls to the PSTN and by both parties during telephone conversations. If difficulties are experienced, contact the supplier or maintainer of the series apparatus in the first instance.

While operation may be possible initially, changes to or modernisation of the network taking place in the normal course of events may result in the facsimile equipment being connected to a network service with which it was not designed to be compatible.

Failure of the facsimile / series apparatus to work under these circumstances may not be the fault of the network operator.

The voltage drop introduced by your facsimile between the PSTN and the associated apparatus at a current of 40mA d.c. is 2 volts, therefore no additional series equipment may be connected.

Precautions before setting up

◆ The fax must be installed on a level surface.
◆ Keep the fax away from air conditioners, heaters, direct sunlight, and dust.
- Provide easy access to the front, back, and sides of the fax. In particular, keep the area in front of the fax clear, or the original document may jam as it comes out after scanning.
- Keep liquids away from the fax. Liquids spilled on the fax can damage the internal circuitry.
If the fax is moved from a cold to a warm place, it is possible that condensation may form on the reading glass, preventing proper scanning of documents for transmission. To remove the condensation, turn on the power and wait approximately 2 hours before using the fax.

INSTALLING THE PRINTER CARTRIDGES

The laser printer in your fax creates printed text and images by applying toner to the page with a photoconductive drum. Follow the steps below to install or replace the imaging cartridge (which contains the toner) and the drum cartridge.

Replacing the cartridges

Your fax uses the following imaging cartridge and drum cartridge. These can be obtained from your dealer or retailer.

FO-26DC IMAGING CARTRIDGE

FO-26DR DRUM CARTRIDGE

The imaging cartridge is capable of printing approximately 2000 pages if A4 size paper is used and 4% of each page is covered with toner. When the cartridge nears empty (about 250 pages can still be printed), the indicator on the operation panel will begin to blink. When the cartridge is empty, the indicator will light steadily and TONER EMPTY will appear in the display. Replace the cartridge as described above.

To assure printing quality, we recommend that you replace the drum cartridge after 20,000 pages have been printed. You can check the total number of pages printed in the display by pressing the FUNCTION key and then the "#" key.

Handset

SHARP FO-2600 - Handset - 1

natural_image Diagram of a device with a coiled cable and a handheld phone, showing no text or symbols

  • Be sure to plug the line cord into the TEL. LINE socket on the fax. Do not plug it into the TEL. SET socket.
  • Note: Connection to the telephone network must not be hard wired.

Comments:

  • Your fax is set for tone dialling. If you are on a pulse only dial line, you must reset it for pulse dialling by changing Option Setting 19. This procedure is described in Chapter 6, "Optional Settings".
  • A new plan telephone socket must be located near the machine. If you don't have one, contact your local telephone supplier.
  • Your fax cannot be used on a key system without the necessary adaptation of the system. Please consult the installers of the system if this is required.
  • If you intend to use a computer fax modem on the same phone line, you must reset Option Setting 12 to NO in order to prevent transmission and reception errors. This procedure is described in Chapter 6, "Optional Settings".
  • If you are connection the fax to a PBX, you may need to reset the fax to the appropriate recall mode for the PBX. This is done by Option Setting 21 as described in Chapter 6.
  • If your area experiences a high incidence of lightning or power surges, we recommend that you install surge protectors for the power and telephone lines. Surge protectors can be purchased from your dealer or at most telephone specialty stores.
  • The facsimile will not ring in response to incoming calls in the absence of mains power to the machine. For this reason it is recommended that the fax is not left as the only telephone instrument connected to the line when in this state to avoid the loss of voice calls.
  • Your fax is still capable of making outgoing telephone calls when the power is switched OFF, however, the dialling method will default to pulse in this condition. The ✗ key may be used to switch to tone dial mode.

SELECTING THE RECEPTION MODE

Your fax has three modes for receiving incoming calls and faxes:

MANUAL mode: This is the most convenient mode for receiving phone calls. You can also receive faxes; however, all calls must first be answered by picking up the fax's handset or an extension phone connected to the same line.

AUTO mode: Select this mode when you only want to receive faxes on your line. The fax machine will automatically answer all calls and receive incoming faxes. Automatic Fax/Phone Changeover, a special function for receiving both faxes and voice calls, also operates in this mode.

ANS. mode: Select this mode when an answering machine is connected to the fax and you want the answering machine to answer all calls. This allows you to receive both voice messages and faxes while you are out.

Setting the reception mode

RECEPTION MODE AUTO MANUAL ANS.

Press the RECEPTION MODE key until the light under the desired mode comes on.

For more information on receiving faxes in AUTO mode and MANUAL mode, see "Receiving Documents" in Chapter 3. For more information on using ANS. mode, see Chapter 4.

STORING NUMBERS FOR AUTOMATIC DIALLING

Automatic dialling is a quick and convenient way of dialling which is performed by either pressing a Rapid Key (Rapid Key Dialling), or pressing the SPEED key and entering a 2-digit number (Speed Dialling). It can be used for both fax transmissions and voice calls.

To use Automatic Dialling, you must first store the full number in your fax. The way you store it depends on whether you want to use it for Rapid Key Dialling or Speed Dialling:

♦ Rapid Key Dialling: You assign a full fax number to a Rapid Key. You can also store a name, a voice number (dialled as described in "Making telephone calls" in Chapter 3), and a back-up fax number which is automatically dialled if the first fax number is busy. 20 Rapid Keys are available.

◆ Speed Dialling: You assign a full fax or voice number to a 2-digit Speed Dial number. You can also store a name. 30 Speed Dial numbers are available. (Speed Dial numbers are independent of Rapid Keys.)

Chain Dialling for long numbers or indirect access to alternative network operators

The maximum number of digits which may be entered when storing a telephone or fax number is 20. If you need to store a number which is longer than 20 digits or wish to program an access number or PIN of an alternative network operator, use Chain Dialling.

Chain Dialling allows you to combine two or more automatic dialling numbers, or use an automatic dialling number followed by additional digits entered manually with the numeric keys, to dial a single number. In addition to being convenient for storing long numbers, it allows you to store a network operator's access code or PIN as an automatic dialling number.

For example, to store a 36-digit number for automatic dialling, you would need to break it into two parts:

  1. Store the first 20 digits into one Speed Dial number ("01", for example) using the storing procedure on the following page, and press "1" in Step 11 of that procedure to specify it as a Chain Dialling number (when dialling, this tells the machine to wait for the remainder of the telephone number when you use the Speed Dial number "01").

  2. Store the remaining 16 digits into a separate Speed Dial number ("02", for example), and this time press "2" in Step 11 of the storing procedure to specify that it is not a Chain Dial number (this tells the machine that the final part of the number has been dialled).

In this way, you specify all parts of the number except the last as Chain Dial numbers.

- The maximum number of digits which can be dialled at one time by Chain Dialling is 50.

Storing numbers

Comments:

  • To enter letters for names or correct a mistake, see "Entering letters for names" in this chapter.
  • You may need to add a pause between certain digits to allow time for connection. For example, if you are on a PBX telephone system that requires an access number to be dialled (such as "9") to access an outside line, you may need to enter a pause between the access number and the number of the receiving fax machine.
  • Pauses are entered by pressing the REDIAL key, and several can be entered in a row if necessary. The first pause entered gives a time delay of about 4 seconds, and subsequent pauses give delays of 0.9 seconds each. The total duration of pauses entered for any one fax or voice number cannot exceed 11 seconds.
  • Rapid key 01 has been set at the factory for use as the Mercury key. If you are not using the Mercury Service and want to use Rapid Key 01 for Rapid Key dialling, clear Rapid key 01 as described in "Clearing numbers" which follows in this section, and reset Option Setting 23 as described in Chapter 6.
  • To confirm that Automatic Dialling numbers have been stored correctly, print out the Telephone List. The procedure for doing this is described in Chapter 7, "Printing out Reports and Lists".

◆ A lithium battery keeps automatic dialling numbers in memory

Your fax uses a lithium battery to keep automatic dialling numbers and other programmed data in memory when the power is turned off.

Battery power is consumed primarily when the power is turned off. With the power kept continuously off, the life of the battery is about 5 years.

If the battery fails, have your dealer or service agent replace it. Do not try to replace it yourself.

Storing Numbers in Group Keys

Group Keys allow you to dial a group of fax numbers by simply pressing the appropriate Group Key once. They are convenient for the Broadcasting function, which is used to transmit a document to a group of fax machines.

Rapid Keys 19/G1 and 20/G2 can be programmed as Group Keys. To program or clear a Group Key, follow the steps below. Note that one key cannot be simultaneously programmed as both a Rapid Key and a Group Key.

◆ Up to 49 fax numbers can be stored in one Group Key.
Only Rapid Keys and Speed Dial numbers can be stored in a Group Key. No full numbers can be stored.
A Group Key cannot be cleared if it is being used in a programmed Broadcasting operation. First clear the programmed operation as described in "Entering and Using Programs" in Chapter 5, then clear the key. If you need to check which program the key is used in, print out the Program and Group List as described in Chapter 7.

The Mercury Residential Service

Note: The Mercury Service is only available in the U.K.

Mercury's Residential Service is a highly competitive telephone service for the residential and small business user.

Most UK long distance and international calls are cheaper over Mercury, especially in the Economy period. For customers who make a large number of long distance and international calls during the daytime, extra savings are available by joining the Mercury Frequent Caller Programme.

Mercury calls are rounded to the second, and charged to the nearest tenth of a penny. You will also receive fully itemised bills. Mercury Customer Services are available 24 hours a day to provide the highest level of customer service.

There are two ways to access Mercury, the Residential 132 Service and the Residential PIN Code Service. You can find out the best method for you by calling Mercury Customer Services on FreeCall 0500-500 194 (24 hours). Most homes and businesses are now able to access the Mercury network via their existing BT line. Mercury Customer Services will be able to check whether Mercury is available in your area.

All Mercury's charges and tariffs are the same for both methods of accessing Mercury—the only difference is how you connect to the Mercury network.

For Residential 132 Service customers

Once you have become a Mercury Residential 132 customer, you simply dial 132 before a long distance or international call to send it over the Mercury network.

The Mercury Key on your fax machine (Rapid Key 01) comes with the digits "132" pre-stored in it and therefore no further programming is necessary.

To check that you have access to the Mercury Residential Service pick up the handset, wait for the dial tone, press the Mercury Key, and dial 132. This call is free of charge. You should be connected to a recorded message welcoming you to the Mercury network. If you have any difficulties, please contact Mercury Customer Services (Fault Reporting) on FreeCall 0500-500 193 (24 hours).

To send your long distance and international calls and faxes over Mercury, press the Mercury Key before the STD code and telephone number of the party you are calling.

If the Residential 132 Service is not yet available in your area, you may apply to use the Mercury Residential PIN Code Service.

For Residential PIN Code Service customers

After you apply for Mercury's Residential PIN Code Service you will receive a Mercury PIN Code in two separate parts.

The PIN Code, which is similar to a bank PIN number, identifies you as a Mercury customer. For consistency with messages shown on the machine display, this manual will refer to the Mercury PIN Code as the "I.D. Code".

To access Mercury's Residential PIN Code Service, you must first dial the access code "131", wait until you hear the high-pitched Mercury tone, and then enter your I.D. Code. After this, dial the number of the party you want to call.

Cost Centre Codes

Cost centre codes are selectable on your Mercury order form. By keying in a code number (either 2 or 3 digits) before each Mercury call, businesses can allocate calls to different jobs, or residential users can see who is responsible for each call. If you have requested this option then to make a call via Mercury you must press the Mercury Key, enter your chosen cost centre code, and then dial the telephone or fax number of the party you want to call.

Please note that Cost Centre Codes are not currently available with the Residential 132 Service.

Programming the Mercury Key for the Residential PIN Code Service

The access code, a pause, and your I.D. code can all be programmed into the Mercury Key (Rapid Key 01). This will allow you to access the Mercury network by simply pressing the Mercury Key.

To program the Mercury Key, Option Setting 23 must be set to "1" (YES). It has been set to "1" at the factory, but if you need to check the setting or reset it, see Chapter 6, "Optional Settings".

A pause must be entered between the access code and your I.D. code to allow time for connection to the Mercury network. This is done by entering a code number corresponding to the length of the pause as shown in the table below. If you are connected to a Tone exchange a pause of 4 seconds should be sufficient. However, if programming the Mercury Key proves unsuccessful or if you are connected to a Pulse exchange, try longer pauses until programming proves successful.

Code01020304050607080910
Pause (seconds)4.04.95.86.77.68.59.410.311.212.1

Reprogram the Mercury Key by pressing the panel keys as shown below.

Important:

  • It is only necessary to follow the programming procedure below for access via the Residential PIN Code Service. For the Residential 132 Service no programming is required as the access digits are stored in the Mercury Key from the factory.
  • To reprogram the Mercury key, you must first clear it following the procedure described for clearing numbers in "Storing Numbers for Automatic Dialling" in this chapter.

To check that the Mercury I.D. code has been reprogrammed correctly, pick up the handset or press the SPEAKER key, wait for the dialling tone, and press the Mercury Key (followed by a 2 or 3 digit cost centre code if applicable), and dial 1500. This call is free of charge. During connection you will hear a high pitched tone. This is the Mercury dial tone. You should then be connected to a recorded message welcoming you to the Mercury network.

If you have any difficulties, please contact Mercury Customer Services on FreeCall 0500 500 193 (24 hours).

Note: For security reasons, your I.D. code cannot be listed or displayed once it has been entered. However, it can be cleared and re-programmed if desired.

Clearing or changing the Mercury Key

To clear the Mercury Key or change the code programmed into it, follow the procedure for clearing numbers described in "Storing Numbers for Automatic Dialling" in this chapter, and then repeat the programming procedure on the preceding page if necessary.

If for any reason you have to return your fax machine for repair, for security reasons, you should clear the PIN Code, if programmed, from the Mercury Key.

Rapid Key and Speed Dial numbers for Mercury use

Once the Mercury key has been programmed appropriately for either the 132 or Residential PIN Service, you can use it to include the Mercury access code when storing fax and voice numbers for Rapid Key and Speed Dialling. This will save you the trouble of pressing the Mercury Key each time you dial numbers by Rapid Key or Speed Dialling.

Simply press the Mercury Key before entering the desired fax or voice number when performing the procedure for storing numbers described in "Storing Numbers for Automatic Dialling" in this chapter. (Press the Mercury Key before Step 5 in the procedure.)

Dialling numbers on the Mercury network

To dial numbers on the Mercury network, you can use any of the methods of dialling described in "Sending Documents" in Chapter 3 for fax transmissions, and any of the methods described in "Making Telephone Calls" in Chapter 3 for voice calls.

Simply press the Mercury Key before entering the number:

Normal Dialling: Press the Mercury Key, enter a cost centre code (if applicable), and then dial the number of the other party.
- Direct Keypad Dialling: Press the Mercury Key, enter a cost centre code (if applicable), and then dial the number of the other party.
♦ Rapid Key Dialling: Press the Mercury Key and then the appropriate Rapid Key.
◆ Speed Dialling: Press the Mercury Key, then press the SPEED key and enter the Speed Dial number.

Note: For Rapid Key and Speed Dialling, do not press the Mercury Key if it has already been programmed into the automatic dialling number as described in the above section.

Notes

Transmittable documents

Your fax can transmit most standard office documents. Specific guidelines are as follows:

Size and weight

The size and weight of documents which you can load in the document feeder depend on whether you load one sheet at a time or several sheets at once.

One sheet at a time:
SHARP FO-2600 - Size and weight - 1

other | Segment | Size (g/m²) | Distance (m) | |---------|-------------|--------------| | Left | 52 | 157 | | Right | 1.0 | 216 |

Several sheets at once:
SHARP FO-2600 - Size and weight - 2

other | Volume (g/m²) | Value | | ------------- | ----- | | Left | 52 | | Right | 356 |

Note: The area of the document which is scanned by the fax is slightly smaller than the actual document size. Any letters or graphics outside this area cannot be transmitted.
Scanning width: 210 mm
Scanning length: The length of the sheet minus 4mm from both the top and bottom edges.

Other restrictions

  • Documents written in yellow, greenish yellow, or light blue ink cannot be transmitted, as the scanner does not recognise these colours.
    ◆ Ink, glue, and correcting fluid on documents must be dry before they are transmitted.
  • All clips, staples, and pins must be removed from documents before transmission. If these are not removed, they may damage the fax.
  • Documents which are patched, taped, torn, smaller than the minimum size, carbon backed, or easily smudged should be photocopied, and the copy used for transmission.

Loading the document

Up to 20 pages can be placed in the feeder at one time. The pages will be automatically fed into the fax starting from the page on the bottom.

It may be necessary, depending on the type of original, to feed the first sheet into the feeder initially and then to place the remaining pages into the feeder.
If you need to send or copy more than 20 pages, place the additional pages gently and carefully in the feeder just before the last page is scanned. Do not try to force them in, as this may cause double-feeding or jamming.
If your document consists of several large or thick pages which must be loaded one at a time, insert each page into the feeder as the previous page is being scanned. Insert gently to prevent double-feeding.

You can now either make resolution and/or contrast settings as described in the following section, or dial the other party as described in the section, "Dialling and transmission".

Important:

- If you need to remove the document from the feeder before transmission or copying, first open the operation panel by pulling the panel release on the right side of the fax forward, and then remove the document. If you try to pull the document out without opening the operation panel, you may damage the feeder mechanism.

Optional transmission settings

If desired, there are several transmission settings which you can make before dialling and transmitting the document.

Note: To make the settings, the document must first be loaded in the feeder.

Resolution

Your fax has 4 resolution settings:

STANDARD:Use STANDARD for ordinary documents. This setting gives you the fastest and most economical transmission.
FINE:Use FINE for improved reproduction, especially with documents containing small letters or fine drawings.
SUPER FINE:Use SUPER FINE when you need the highest quality of reproduction.
HALF TONE:Use HALF TONE for photographs and illustrations. The original will be reproduced in 32 shades of grey.

If you do not make a setting, the fax will automatically send the document in STANDARD.

In order to transmit with FINE or SUPER FINE resolution, the receiving fax machine must also have that resolution. If it doesn't, the next best available setting will be used.
◆ The default resolution (the resolution the fax uses if you do not make a resolution setting) can be changed to FINE by changing Option Setting 1. See Chapter 6, "Optional Settings".

Contrast

The contrast is normally set to AUTO, which means that the fax automatically controls the contrast, but for faint documents you can change the setting to DARK.

Setting the resolution and contrast

PAPER CHECK RESOLUTION MEMORY BROADCAST

Press the RESOLUTION key one or more times until the desired resolution and contrast settings appear in the display.

- The first time you move through the list of resolution settings, the contrast setting AUTO will appear next to each resolution setting. The second time you move through the list, the contrast setting DARK will appear.

Cover Sheet

You can have your fax generate a cover sheet and send it as the last page of the transmission. The cover sheet includes the date and time, the sender's name and number, and the receiver's name and number if an automatic dialling number is used. The total number of pages sent is indicated on the bottom.

  • Your name and number must be programmed in order for them to appear on the cover sheet. (See "Entering Your Name and Fax Number" in Chapter 2.)
    ◆ Cover Sheet cannot be selected when you use the Relay Request Function.

To include a cover sheet with only a single transmission, press the panel keys as shown below. In this case, you can also select a message which will appear at the top of the cover sheet. If you want the fax to automatically send a cover sheet with every transmission, set Option Setting 13 to YES as described in Chapter 6, "Optional Settings" (no message can be selected in this case).

StepPress these keys:Comments

Batch Page Numbering (Page Counter)

This setting is used to change the page numbering of the transmitted document from simple numbering ("P.1", "P.2", etc.) to batch numbering, which means that a slash and the total number of pages being sent is added after each page number (for example, "P. 1/5", "P.2/5", etc.). This allows the receiver to check for any missing pages.

If you are sending a cover sheet, do not include the cover sheet in the total number of pages. Your fax will adjust the number to include the cover sheet automatically.
- If you need to cancel a batch number entry, remove the document from the feeder or press the STOP key.
If the number of pages actually transmitted does not coincide with the batch number entered, the alarm will sound and PAGE COUNT ERROR will appear in the display. "PAGE E" will also appear in the "NOTE" column of the Transaction Report if it has been set to print out.

StepPress these keys:Comments
1PAGE COUNTER SET will appear in the display.
21 0 (Example)Enter the total number of pages (2 digits - "01" to "99") by pressing the numeric keys.

Note: Batch page numbering is automatically evoked whenever documents are sent from memory, i.e., Memory transmission or Broadcasting.

Dialling and transmission

Once you have loaded the document and made any desired transmission settings, you are ready to dial the number of the receiving fax machine and transmit the document. There are several ways of dialling, and you can select the one which best suits your needs.

Normal Dialling

With Normal Dialling, you pick up the handset (or press the SPEAKER key) and dial as you would to make a telephone call. If the receiving machine is set to receive faxes manually (this means that the receiving party first answers your call vocally, and then presses their Start key to begin fax reception), you can talk with them before sending the fax.

1SHARP FO-2600 - Normal Dialling - 1 or SHARP FO-2600 - Normal Dialling - 2Pick up the handset or press the SPEAKER key. Listen for the dial tone.
2SHARP FO-2600 - Normal Dialling - 3Dial the number of the receiving machine by pressing the number keys.
3SHARP FO-2600 - Normal Dialling - 4Wait for the connection. Depending on the setting of the receiving machine, you will either hear a facsimile reception tone or the other person will answer.If the other party answers, ask them to press their Start key (if you pressed the SPEAKER key, pick up the handset to speak with them). This causes the receiving machine to issue a reception tone.
4SHARP FO-2600 - Normal Dialling - 5When you hear the reception tone, press the START key. Replace the handset if you used it.When transmission is completed, the fax will beep.

4

Direct Keypad Dialling

If you do not need to talk with the other party before sending the fax, you can just dial; it isn't necessary to pick up the handset or press the SPEAKER key.

◆ Direct Keypad Dialling is a form of automatic dialling, so if you need to insert a pause between any digits of the number, press the REDIAL key. (For more information on pauses, see "Storing Numbers for Automatic Dialling" in Chapter 2.)

Chain Dialling

An automatic dialling number set for Chain Dialling (see "Storing Numbers for Automatic Dialling" in Chapter 2) can be combined with another automatic dialling number or digits entered manually with the numeric keys to dial one phone number up to 50 digits long. The following are some examples of how this can be done:

◆ Press appropriate Rapid Keys in the proper order. For example, press Rapid Key 01, then Rapid Key 02.
◆ Enter Speed Dial numbers in the proper order. For example, press the SPEED key and "22", then the SPEED key and "23". Press the START key after the final number to begin transmission.
- Press a Rapid Key and then manually enter a number by pressing appropriate numeric keys. Press the START key after the final numeric key to begin transmission. (Use this method, for example, when you have stored a long distance access code into a Rapid Key, and want to dial this in combination with a number which hasn't been stored as an automatic dialling number.)

Using the SEARCH DIAL key

If you don't remember the Rapid Key or Speed Dial number in which you have stored a particular fax number, you can search for the number by following the steps below. Once you have found the number, you can dial it and transmit the loaded document by simply pressing the START key.

Press the START key. The document will be automatically transmitted once the connection is made.

Note: The SEARCH DIAL key can be used to access the first number in a Chain Dialling sequence, but not subsequent numbers.

Redialling

Automatic redialling

If you use automatic dialling (including Direct Keypad Dialling) and the line is busy, your fax will automatically redial the number. Up to 2 redialling attempts will be made at intervals of 5 minutes.

◆ To stop automatic redialling, press the STOP key.
If desired, you can change the number of times the fax redials to any number from 1 to 4 with Option Setting 6, and the interval at which redialling is done to any number of minutes from 1 to 5 with Option Setting 7.

Using the REDIAL key

You can press the REDIAL key to redial the last number dialled. To send a document, proceed from Step 3 of Normal Dialling. Note that the speaker will be automatically activated, so you do not need to pick up the handset immediately.

Using AUTO mode

When the reception mode is set to AUTO (press the RECEPTION MODE key until the AUTO light comes on), your fax automatically answers all calls on 1 ring and receives incoming documents.

  • You can change the number of rings after which the fax answers incoming calls by changing Option Setting 2 (see "Optional settings" in Chapter 6). Any number from "1" to "5" can be selected ("1" to "3" rings in Eire).
    If you pick up the handset before your fax answers, you can talk to the other party and/or receive a document as described below in "Using MANUAL mode".

Note: Documents sent to your fax in Superfine resolution are printed in Fine resolution.

Using MANUAL mode

When the reception mode is set to MANUAL (press the RECEPTION MODE key until the MANUAL light comes on), you must answer all calls (including fax transmissions) using the fax's handset or an extension phone connected to the same line.

Receiving faxes on the FO-2600

Diagram showing hand holding a telephone handset and pointing to the right side of a device with a circular arrow indicating rotation.

When your fax rings, pick up the handset.

  • If you hear a fax tone, wait until RECEIVING appears in the display, and then replace the handset.
  • If the other party first talks to you and then wants to send a fax, press the START key after speaking. Replace the handset.

Note: If you have set Option Setting 12 to "OFF" and you hear a fax tone when you pick up the handset, you must press the START key to begin reception.

Note: As a back-up feature of manual reception mode, you can set the fax to automatically receive documents on any number of rings from "1" to "5" ("1" to 3" in Eire). This is useful if you are occasionally unable to respond to an incoming call personally. The setting is made with Option Setting 3. See "Optional Settings" in Chapter 6.

Received document outlet

Note: The Received Document Outlet has a maximum capacity of 100 sheets. To prevent the outlet from becoming obstructed, which will in turn cause paper jams, be sure to frequently remove received documents and copies. Do not allow a large number of documents to accumulate in the outlet.

Receiving faxes on an extension phone

If you hear a fax tone when you answer an extension phone, wait until your fax answers (the extension phone will go dead), and then hang up. Your fax will automatically receive the document.

Note: If your fax does not respond within 5 seconds, noise on the line may be preventing it from detecting the fax tone. In this case, manually activate fax reception as described in the following paragraph.

If the other party first talks to you and then wants to send a document, press "5", "*" and "*" if you are on a tone dial phone or a pulse dial phone capable of sending tone signals. If your phone cannot send tone signals, hang up the extension handset (the telephone line will remain open whilst the caller is offhook), walk over to the fax, pick up the handset, and press the START key.

Note: Your fax will not accept the signal to begin reception ("5", "∗", and "∗") if a document is loaded in its feeder.

Comments:

  • If you have set Option Setting 12 to "OFF" and hear a fax tone when you answer the extension phone, you must press "5", "*", and "*" if you are on a tone dial phone, or walk over to the fax, pick up the handset, and press the START key if you are on a pulse dial phone.
  • The code used to activate fax reception from a tone dial extension phone ("5", "∗", and "∗") can be changed if desired. See Option Setting 10 ("Tel/Fax Remote Number") in Chapter 6, "Optional Settings".
  • If you do not intend to use the code for activating fax reception, you can turn detection of the code off by resetting Option Setting 11. This will ensure that the fax never mistakenly attempts to begin reception if it detects a signal similar to "5", "*", and "*" while you are talking on an extension phone.

Automatic Fax/Phone Changeover

This is a special function in AUTO reception mode which is convenient for receiving both faxes and voice calls. When it is turned on, your fax will detect whether an incoming call is a voice call (including manually dialled fax transmissions), or an automatically dialled fax. If it is a voice call, the fax will make a special ringing sound to alert you to answer. If it is an automatically dialled fax transmission, reception will begin automatically.

Comments:

  • Automatic Fax/Phone Changeover is normally used in AUTO reception mode. However, it can also be used in MANUAL (telephone) reception mode if Option Setting 3 is set to YES.
  • When this function is enabled, the machine may not be connected to lines listed in telephone directories issued by public network operators. Publication of the number of this machine should be accompanied with advice of the function.

Turning Automatic Fax/Phone Changeover on

Automatic Fax/Phone Changeover is turned on by setting Option Setting 8 to "YES". The procedure for doing this is described in Chapter 6, "Option Settings".

◆ Make sure the reception mode is set to AUTO.

How the function operates

When a call comes in, your fax will answer it after the number of rings set with Option Setting 2. After answering, the fax monitors the line for about 5 seconds to see if a fax tone is being sent.

If your fax detects a fax tone (this means that the call is an automatically dialled fax), it will automatically begin reception of the incoming document.
If your fax doesn't detect a fax tone (this means that the call is a voice call or manually dialled fax), it will make a special ringing sound (called pseudo ringing) for 15 seconds to alert you to answer. If you don't answer within this time, your fax will send a fax tone to the other machine to allow the calling party to send a fax manually if they desire.

Comments:

  • Only the fax will alert you to voice calls or manually dialled faxes by pseudo ringing. An extension phone connected to the same line will not ring after the connection has been made.
  • The duration of pseudo ringing can be adjusted with Option Setting 9. See Chapter 6, "Optional Settings".
  • The volume of the pseudo ringer is controlled by pressing the FUNCTION key and then the SPEAKER key, followed by the "#" or "*" keys. Make sure the speaker volume is turned up sufficiently to hear the pseudo ringer.

MAKING COPIES

Your fax can also be used to make copies. Single and multiple copies (up to 99 per original) can be made, enabling your fax to double as an office copier.

◆ The default resolution for copying is FINE.

Single copies

Follow these steps when you only want to make one copy of each original in the feeder. Single copying is particularly convenient for making sample copies of documents to be transmitted to see if the resolution or contrast needs adjustment.

COPY START

Press the COPY key, and then the START key.

Multiple copies

Follow these steps when you want to make multiple copies of one or more originals. Up to 99 copies per original can be made.

If you are making multiple copies of more than one original, you can choose whether to have the copies sorted (SORT COPY) or not sorted (MULTI COPY). The following example shows how each mode works when 3 copies each of 3 originals are made.

To change back to pulse mode, simply hang up (the dialling mode automatically changes back to the setting of Option Setting 19 when you hang up).

PBX operations and Network Services

If your fax is connected to a PBX, you can use it to perform the following operations:

Making enquiry calls: During a call, you can put the other party on hold, make a further call to a third party, and then go back to your original caller.
◆ Transferring calls: You can transfer a call to another number on the same PBX without operator assistance.

Note: The machine is also fully compatible with British Telecom Network Services and can be used in conjunction with any facility that requires a recall command.

Note: To perform the above PBX operations, Option Setting 21 must be set to the appropriate recall mode for your PBX (see Chapter 6, "Optional Settings"). Check your PBX manual or consult your supplier for the correct recall mode. If you are using British Telecom Network Services, Option Setting 21 must be set to time-break recall. (This is the initial factory setting).

If you have connected an answering machine to your fax as described in "Assembly and Connections" in Chapter 1, you can receive both voice messages and fax transmissions on the same line while you are out. To use the connection, first change the outgoing message of your answering machine, and then set the reception mode of your fax to ANS. when you go out.

Changing the outgoing message

The outgoing message (OGM) of your answering machine should be changed to inform callers who want to send a fax to press their Start key. For example, your message might go as follows:

"Hello. You've reached the ABC company. No one is available to take your call right now. Please leave a message after the beep or press your facsimile Start key to send a fax. Thank you for calling."

Comments:

  • It is advisable to keep the length of the message under 10 seconds. If it is too long, you may have difficulty receiving faxes sent by automatic dialling.
  • Your callers can even leave a voice message and send a fax message on the same call. Modify your outgoing message to explain that they can first leave a voice message, and then press their Start key to send a fax.

When you go out

1

RECEPTION MODE AUTO MANUAL ANS.

Set the reception mode of your fax to ANS. by pressing the RECEPTION MODE key.

2

Set your answering machine to auto answer.

- Ideally it should be set to answer on no more than two rings.

Note: If your answering machine has a remote retrieval function, make sure the code used to activate remote retrieval is different from the code used to activate fax reception with an extension telephone (see "Receiving Documents" in Chapter 3). If they are the same, entering the code from an outside telephone to retrieve messages will cause the fax machine to be activated.

How the answering machine mode operates

While you are out, all of your incoming calls will be answered by your answering machine and its outgoing message will play. During this time, your fax will quietly monitor the line. If your fax detects a fax transmission, it will take over the line and begin reception.

  • If the connection is not good or there is noise on the line, the answering machine and/or fax machine may not respond properly.
  • The call counter on your answering machine may indicate that voice messages were received, when only fax messages were received.

Note: To prevent the fax from taking over the line and beginning reception if you call in from an external phone or answer on an extension phone, press any three keys (other than the code to activate fax reception, "5", "✗", and "✗") on the dial pad of the phone. This can only be performed from a phone capable of tone dialling.

If it doesn't work

If the connection doesn't operate properly, first check the following:

Is the answering machine connected properly to the fax? One end of the answering machine line should be inserted in the "EXT. TEL." socket on the fax ("TEL. SET" in Ireland), and the other end in the answering machine's telephone line socket.
◆ Is the reception mode set to ANS.?

If the above settings and connections are correct and the connection still doesn't operate properly, the timing with which the answering machine and the fax operate are probably not well synchronized. Some common synchronization problems and their solutions are described below.

In addition, read the following section, "How fax transmissions are detected", to gain a better understanding of how the fax operates when an answering machine is connected. This will help you determine what course of action to take.

◆ Are callers who want to leave a voice message being interrupted by the fax before they can do so?

The fax is set to take over the line and begin reception if it detects a specified duration of silence (called "Quiet Detect Time"). If your outgoing message contains a pause or the caller pauses while leaving a message, and the pause is longer than the specified duration, the fax will interrupt.

It is best to shorten or eliminate such pauses, but if necessary you can also try lengthening the Quiet Detect Time setting. This procedure is described in "Optional A.M. Mode Settings" at the end of this chapter.

- Are callers who want to send a fax manually having trouble doing so after your answering machine’s outgoing message plays?

If so, the answering machine may be disconnecting the line (hanging up) before your fax has a chance to take over the line and begin reception. You can make your fax activate sooner by shortening the Quiet Detect Time setting. This procedure is described in "Optional A.M. Mode Settings" at the end of this chapter.

◆ Are you having trouble receiving documents sent by automatic dialling?

Make sure that your answering machine's outgoing message is less than 10 seconds long, and that your answering machine is set to answer on between 2 and 4 rings. Inserting a short pause at the beginning of your answering machine's outgoing message might also help, as this gives your fax a chance to clearly hear and detect the fax "calling" tone which the transmitting fax sends in the case of automatic dialling.

How fax transmissions are detected:

Your fax detects fax transmissions in two ways when an answering machine is connected, depending on whether the document is being sent automatically or manually:

Automatic dialling:

If the document is sent using a form of automatic dialling, such as Rapid Key or Speed Dialling, the transmitting fax machine will send a "calling tone" at 3-second intervals for a period of about 30 to 40 seconds after dialling. When your fax detects this tone, it will disconnect the answering machine, send a "reception tone" in response, and begin receiving the transmission.

If the transmitting fax does not receive a reception tone from your fax within 30 to 40 seconds after dialling, it will usually hang up and automatically redial several minutes later.

Since your fax may not be able to detect the transmitting fax's calling tone until after the outgoing message ends, it is important that the answering machine answers the call within 4 rings and the outgoing message does not last too long. Otherwise, your fax may not be able to establish communication with the transmitting fax before the latter hangs up.

Manual dialling:

If the document is being sent by normal (manual) dialling, the transmitting fax machine does not send a calling tone. Instead, the person faxing normally waits until they hear a reception tone and then presses their Start key. In the case of an answering machine connection, they will hear your outgoing message instead of a reception tone, and then press their Start key.

However, this does not signal a fax transmission to your fax. Instead, it must use a function called "Quiet Detect Time" to detect the transmission. This function causes your fax to disconnect the answering machine and begin reception if it detects a certain duration of silence.

Your fax is set to automatically begin fax reception if it detects a duration of silence of 4 seconds. When the person faxing presses their Start key, the line will go quiet, and the transmitting fax machine will wait for a reception tone from your fax. Your fax will therefore disconnect the answering machine 4 seconds after the key is pressed, and send a reception tone to tell the other fax machine to begin transmission.

If your answering machine has a fast disconnect time and disconnects the line before 4 seconds elapses, fax reception will not be possible. In this case, you must shorten the Quiet Detect Time setting as described on the following page. On the other hand, if the Quiet Detect Time setting is too short, your fax may interrupt voice callers if they pause during their message or if there is a period of silence in your outgoing message.

MEMORY

Your fax has a memory which can be used to store both incoming and outgoing documents.

  • Approximately 28 pages of average content (based on ITU-T Test Chart #1 at standard resolution) can be held in memory if they are all to be transmitted, or 32 pages if they are all received (39 received pages if Option Setting 20, Error Correction Mode, is set to NO). Less can be held if any were scanned using fine or halftone resolution.
    If you need more memory, a 1 MB add-on option is available from your dealer or retailer which will increase the capacity to 92 transmission pages or 92 received pages (99 received pages if Error Correction Mode is set to NO).

Sending documents from memory

With this function, the original document is scanned immediately, stored in memory, and then transmitted once the connection to the receiving machine is made. This is convenient when transmitting to places where the line is often busy, as it saves you from waiting to collect the original document and frees the feeder for other operations.

♦ Only one memory transmission can be set at a time.
- The amount of memory currently occupied appears as a percentage in the display while the document is being scanned.

Press the START key if you entered a Speed Dial number or a full number.

- The document is first scanned and stored in memory. The other machine is then dialled (redialling will be performed automatically if necessary). When the connection is made, transmission begins. Afterwards, the document is cleared from memory and your fax returns to standby mode.

If the memory becomes full...

If the memory becomes full while the document is being scanned, MEMORY FULL will appear in the display.

  • Press the START key if you want to transmit the pages which have been stored up to that point in memory. The remaining pages will be ejected from the feeder. After transmission, the memory will be cleared and you can transmit the remaining pages. You will also need to transmit the page which was being scanned when the memory filled up.
    ◆ Press the STOP key if you want to cancel the entire transmission.

Substitute reception into memory

This is a back-up function which is automatically activated if your fax runs out of paper, the imaging cartridge needs replacement, or the paper jams.

When you have received a document in memory, FAX RX IN MEMORY will appear in the display, alternating with CHECK PAPER, REPLACE TONER, or PAPER JAM. When you add paper, replace the imaging cartridge, or clear the jam, the stored documents will automatically be printed out.

Caution!

  • When documents are stored in memory, do not turn the power off. This will erase all of the contents.
  • If documents received in memory are lost due to a power failure or other interruption of the power supply, a "CLEAR REPORT" will be printed out when the power is restored. This gives information about the receptions lost, including the fax numbers of the transmitting machines if they are available.

TRANSMISSION RESERVATION

When your fax is busy receiving a document or transmitting a document from memory, you can "reserve" a transmission by loading the document and entering the fax number. Once the current operation is completed, your fax will automatically dial the number and transmit the document, saving you from having to wait.

CONFIDENTIAL TRANSMISSION

The Confidential function is used to send documents confidentially. When the receiving machine receives the document, it stores it in memory instead of immediately printing it out. Print-out will not be performed until the receiving party enters the correct passcode.

◆ Confidential transmission is only possible when the receiving machine is a Sharp model with confidential reception capability.
◆ Confidential reception is not possible with the FO-2600.

POLLING

Polling allows you to request another fax machine to send a document to your fax machine. In other words, the receiving fax machine, not the transmitting fax machine, activates the transmission. You can use your fax to both poll and be polled by others.

Setting the polling key

To use the polling function, you must first set Rapid Key 16/POLL for use as a polling key. This is done by pressing the panel keys as shown below.

The polling key cannot be used for both Rapid Key Dialling and Polling. If it has already been programmed for Rapid Key Dialling, you must clear it first as described in "Storing Numbers for Automatic Dialling" in Chapter 2.

Transmission will take place when the other fax machine calls your fax and activates polling. Automatic reception is possible whilst your fax is on polling standby.

Polling Security

Polling Security allows you to prevent unauthorized polling of your fax. When this function is turned on, polling will only take place when the fax number of the polling fax machine has been entered in your fax's list of permitted fax numbers (called "passcode numbers"). The number of the polling fax must also be correctly programmed into itself.

RELAY REQUEST

Relay Request allows you to send a document to another fax machine and have that fax broadcast the document to a number of other fax machines. This function is useful when the relay fax machine is closer to the end fax machines than your fax, as it reduces telephone line costs.

Important:

- Relay Request can only be used if the intermediate relay machine is a Sharp machine having the Relay Broadcast function (note that your fax cannot act as a relay machine).

Storing a relay group

To make a relay request, you must first enter the relay group. This consists of the fax number of the intermediate relay machine and the fax numbers of the end receiving machines. Only one group can be entered, and this group will remain in memory until cleared.

Only a Rapid Key number or a Speed Dial number can be entered to specify the relay machine; a full number cannot be entered.
- Fax numbers of the end receiving machines can be entered as Rapid Key numbers, Speed Dial numbers, and/or Group Key numbers if they have been stored as such in the relay machine (not in your fax machine). Check with the operator of the relay machine for these numbers.
- The total number of end receiving machines which can be entered varies with the model used as the intermediate relay machine. Check with the operator of the relay machine to find out how many receiving machines can be entered.
A maximum of 400 spaces are available in memory for storing the numbers of end receiving machines. The number of spaces occupied by each number depends on what kind of number it is:

Rapid Key number: 4 spaces

Speed Dial number: 2 spaces

Group Key number: 4 spaces (for one group)

Full number: Number of digits in number (eg. a maximum of 13 full numbers can be entered, with a maximum of 30 digits per number).

The timer function allows you to set a transmission or polling operation to be performed automatically at a time you specify. Up to two transmission operations (one from the feeder and one from memory) and one polling operation can be set at any one time, and the times they will be performed can be specified up to a week in advance.

You can use this function, for example, to take advantage of off-peak telephone rates without having to be there when the operation is performed.

For a timer transmission, you can either scan the document into memory when you set the transmission, or leave the document in the feeder before the transmission time. Scanning the document into memory is convenient because you don't have to worry about document mix-ups or forgetting to load the document. If a transmission from the feeder is set, a highlighted "T" will appear at the right of the display.
◆ Code numbers are used to specify days of the week. Refer to the table below when making time settings which include a specified day:

Note: Only regular transmissions and polling operations can be set using the procedure described below. If you want to set a broadcast, confidential, or relay request operation to be performed at a specified time, program the operation into a Program Key and include a timer setting. This is described in "Entering and Using Programs" in this chapter.

  • Only a rapid/speed number can be entered for a timer transmission, a direct dialled number cannot be entered.
  • A timer operation is automatically cleared from memory after it is completed.

Transaction Report

This report is printed out automatically after an operation is completed to allow you to check the result. The fax is set at the factory to print out the report after every transmission, but you can change the setting to have it printed out under a variety of other conditions. This is done by changing Option Setting 5 as described in Chapter 6.

The Transaction Report shows the same information as the Activity Report. See "Activity Report" in this chapter for an explanation of the headings.
◆ The report cannot be printed out manually.

Reading glass and rollers

Clean the reading glass and rollers frequently to ensure the quality of transmitted images and copies. Open the operation panel (pull the panel release on the right side of the fax forward), and clean the parts as shown below.

White backplate Wipe the backplate • Make such as those removed lines on • Adhesive removal Document rollers Reading glass

Wipe the reading glass, white backplate, and rollers with a soft cloth.

  • Make sure that all dirt and stains (such as those of correcting fluid) are removed, as these will cause vertical lines on transmitted images and copies.
  • Adhesive cellophane tape is useful for removal of debris from the feed rollers.

The housing

Wipe the external parts and surface of the machine with a dry cloth.

Caution!

- Do not use benzene or thinner. These solvents may damage or discolour the machine.

Cleaning the drum cartridge

If some of the characters are missing from the printed page, the surface of the drum in the drum cartridge may need cleaning. Follow the steps below to clean the drum.

Wrap the drum cartridge in a large sheet of paper as shown at left so that the green drum section is shielded from light, and place it gently on a level surface.

  • Do not touch the green drum in the drum cartridge. This will damage the surface of the drum.
  • Do not expose the drum to direct light. This will damage the drum.

Wheel

Fusing unit

If the leading edge of the paper has entered the fusing unit, turn the wheel on the top, right side of the fusing unit in the direction of the arrow until the leading edge of the paper is released from the unit.

  • Caution! Do not pull the paper out of the fusing unit with your hands. This may cause toner smudges on succeeding pages.
  • Important: Do not turn the wheel in the direction opposite that of the arrow. Also, note that the wheel will not turn if the drum cartridge has not been removed.
