Precautions before setting up
The printing unit in the fax generates a small amount of ozone during operation. The
amount is not large enough to be harmful; however, the fax should only be installed
in a well-ventilated room.
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.

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.
Pull the release on the right side of
the operation panel forward, and open
the operation panel.
Grasp the top of the received
document guide and pull it so that it
rotates toward you. Lift the guide
straight up and out of the printing
compartment.
l If you are installing the cartridges for
the first time, go to Step 5.
3 If you are replacing the cartridges,
grasp the finger hold on the imaging
cartridge handle (marked “PUSH”)
and pull the handle out. Rehold the
handle, and pull the imaging cartridge
out of the compartment.
Caution! The fusing unit (the black unit
with ribs extending across the bottom
of the compartment) becomes very hot
during printing. Be careful not to touch
it.
If you are only replacing the drum
cartridge, place the imaging cartridge
on a piece of paper on a horizontal
surface. Make sure that the cartridge
lies fiat.
If you are only replacing the imaging
cartridge, go to Step 8.

guide is positioned so that the arm on
the left side of the guide will go into
the hole. Place your thumbs on both
sides of the guide where it is marked
“PUSH”, and push the guide forward
until it fits into place.

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.
INSTALLATION l-5

Connect the handset lead to the
handset and the fax as shown.
l The ends of the handset lead are
identical, so they will go into either
socket.
Place the handset on the handset rest.
Use the handset to make ordinary
phone calls, or to transmit and
receive documents manually.
Plug the power lead into a 230-240 V,
50 Hz, grounded (3-prong) AC outlet.
Press the power switch to turn on the
power.
Caution: When disconnecting the
FO-2600, unplug the telephone line
cord before unplugging the power cord.
For Australia
For New Zealand
Insert the small modular plug which
terminates the F080TP adaptor line
cord into the socket on the side of the
fax marked “TEL. LINE”. Plug the
F080TP adaptor into the telephone
socket on the wall.
l Be sure to plug the line cord into the
TEL. LINE socket on the fax. Do not
plug it into the TEL. SET socket.

ASSEMBLY AND CONNECTIONS
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 16. This procedure is described in Chapter 6, “Optional
Settings “.
If you intend to use a computer fax modem on the same phone line, you must reset Option
Setting IO to OFF in order to prevent transmission and reception errors. This procedure is
described in Chapter 6, “Optional Settings”.
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.
WARNING NOTICE: For all units installed in New Zealand, only the T setting for tone dialling is
permitted. The P setting for pulse dialling does not operate properly and must not be used.
Moving your fax and reconnecting
Should it be necessary to move your fax to a new location, first disconnect the
telephone line cord before disconnecting the power lead. When reconnecting, it is
necessary to connect the power lead before connecting the telephone line cord.
Adjust the volume of the speaker for on-hook dialling as follows:

l-8 INSTALLATION

ASSEMBLY AND CONNECTIONS
If desired, you can connect either an answering machine or an extension telephone to
your fax.
+ Connecting an answering machine to the fax will allow you to receive both voice and
fax messages on the same line while you are out. For details on using this feature,
see Chapter 4.
+ You can connect an extension phone to the fax to make and receive calls like any
other extension phone on your line. For details on receiving faxes from an extension
phone, see “Receiving Documents” in Chapter 3.
Insert one end of the answering
machine or extension phone line
either into the socket on the back side
of the F080TP adaptor, or into the
socket marked “TEL. SET” on the fax
(first remove the seal from the socket).
or
Important: If you are connecting an
answering machine, make sure the line
plug is inserted into the answering
machine’s telephone line socket, not its
telephone socket.
Important:
l In New Zealand, not all standard telephones and answering machines will respond
to incoming ringing when connected to the extension socket of the equipment.
INSTALLATION 1-9

The paper tray holds the paper on which received documents and copies are printed.
Up to 100 sheets of A4 size paper from 60 to 90 g/m2 can be loaded in the tray.
Comments:
l Plain paper has a “print” side which should be used to obtain the best print quality. The print
side is not visible to the naked eye, so check the label on the end of the package before
removing the paper. The print side will be indicated by an arrow, symbol, or wording. Load
the paper in the tray print side up as described below.
l Best printing results can be obtained from using clean, unused paper. We do not recommend
that you use paper that has already been printed on one side, as print quality problems or
paper jams may result. Some photocopier machines use toner that fuses at a lower
temperature than that used in your printer. If you run these through the printer, the toner
which is already on the paper may fuse onto the roller in the fusing unit.
l Some pre-printed sheets a/so use inks or coatings that may be affected by the heat from the
fusing unit. If possible, check with the supplier before using such papers. Moreover, print
quality cannot be guaranteed for paper with a particularly rough texture or embossing.
Remove the paper tray cover.
Fan the paper, and then tap the edge
against a flat surface to even the
stack.
Pull the lever on the right side of the
paper tray (marked “PULL”) toward
you.

l To move the guide, pinch the lever
against the guide.
6 Push the lever on the right side of the
paper tray down to set the paper.
Replace the paper tray cover.

LOADING PRINTING PAPER
Note: When adding paper to the paper tray, you must first take out any remaining paper,
combine it into one stack with the new paper, and then put the stack in the tray. If you
do not remove the remaining paper and simply place new paper on top of it, double
feeding may result.
