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.
STORING NUMBERS FOR AUTOMATIC DIALLING Comments: You may need to add a pause between certain digits in the number to allow time for connection. For example, if are on a PBX telephone system that requires an access number to be dialled (such as “,I,) to access an outside line, you will need to enter a pause between the access number and the telephone/fax number of the other party.

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.
Page 41
RECEIVING DOCUMENTS 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.
Page 42
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. Follow these steps when you only want to make one copy of each original in the feeder.
MAKING COPIES Load the document(s) face down. If desired, adjust the resolution and/or contrast with the RESOLUTION key. COPY Press the COPY key. Press “1” to select MULTI COPY, or “2” to select SORT COPY. Enter the desired number of copies with the numeric keys.

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.
USING THE HOOK-UP Set your answering machine to auto answer. Your answering machine must be set to answer on a maximum of 4 rings. If not, you may not be able to receive faxes sent by automatic dialling. If your answering machine has a toll saver function, make sure that it will answer by the fourth ring.
USING THE HOOK-UP 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 “TEL. SET” socket on the fax, and the other end in the answering machine’s telephone line socket.
Page 50
USING THE HOOK-UP 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”...
Page 51
If necessary, you can use the following settings to improve the response of the answering machine connection to incoming calls. This function causes the fax machine to take over the line and begin reception if a certain duration of silence is detected after the answering machine answers. Time selections for the period of silence are 1 to 10 seconds.
Page 52
OPTIONAL HOOK-UP SETTINGS If it still doesn’t work... With certain answering machines, it may not be possible to find a Quiet Detect Time setting which will allow both fax reception and uninterrupted voice message recording. In this case, callers on tone dial lines can still send faxes by pressing “5”, “Jc”, and “Jc” on their fax.
Page 53
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 #l 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 23, Error Correction Mode, is set to NO).
Page 54
Press the START key if you entered a START 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.
Page 55
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.
This function allows you to send the same document to as many as 50 different locations with just one operation. You feed the document through the machine once and it is stored in memory. After this, the numbers you have entered are automatically dialled in succession, and the document transmitted to each location.
Page 57
BROADCASTING Broadcasting using a Group Key If the fax machines to which you want to broadcast have all been programmed into one Group Key, you can perform the broadcasting operation using the following simplified procedure: Load the document(s). Make any desired transmission settings (resolution, contrast, etc.).
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.
Page 59
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. To use the polling function, you must first set Rapid Key lG/POLL for use as a polling key.
Page 60
Press Rapid Key lG/POLL. If you used the handset, replace it when POLLING appears in the display. Reception will begin. After polling a fax machine, you can send a document to it on the same connection. Simply place the document to be sent in the feeder and follow the steps described above in “Polling others”.
POLLING Press “1” to turn polling security on, or “2” to turn aora it off. STOP I’$ 1 Exit. Storing and clearing fax numbers for polling permission can store up to 10 fax numbers in your fax’s list of permitted numbers.
