INTRODUCTION
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.
i

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 supplieror 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.
