%Replacing Toner Cartridges and Image Drum Units

Replacing Toner Cartridges and Image Drum Units
Normally your toner cartridge will yield up to 2,500 pages (CCITT #1 Test Chart); the image drum unit up
to 20,000 pages. Then they will need to be replaced. When installing the first toner cartridge in a new
image drum unit, the toner low condition may occur between 500 and 1,500 pages. It is highly
recommended that you purchase a toner cartridge soon after initial installation to ensure that you have
one on hand when toner low occurs.
See Replacing the Toner Cartridge on page 110, and Replacing the Image Drum Unit on page 112 for
replacement instructions.

OF2400/2600 ( 96-02-07 )

%Setting the Clock

Setting the Clock
Your fax machine uses its clock to keep track of the date and time. While your fax machine is not in use
or is preparing infor-mation in memory, the time and date appear on the display. The time and date of
your fax communications are recorded and appear on report printouts, at the top of every fax you send
and at the top of every fax you receive. The correct time and date are also essential when you want to
send a delayed fax (see page 50) or when you are using delayed mail boxes (see page 64). Note: setting
the date and time in your machine is an FCC requirement (see page iii).then follow the steps below.

Time and Date Format
You can change the way your fax machine shows the time and date on the display. Three settings

are possible: Day/Month/Year (DMY), Month/Day/Year (MDY) and Year/Month/Day (YMD). For
information about changing your fax machines current setting, see CALENDAR FORMAT on
page 89.

Time and Date Printing
You can control how your fax machine places the time and date on outgoing faxes. The time and

date can either be OFF (not printed on any page), or ON (printed at top of every page you send).
For information about changing your fax machines current setting, see TIME/DATE PRINT on
page 87.

OF2400/2600 ( 96-02-07 )

%Setting the Answering Mode

Setting the Answering Mode
Your fax machines answering mode deter-mines how your fax machine handles incom-ing telephone
calls (both fax and voice calls). The reception mode which makes the most sense for you will vary
depending on how you use your machine. Your fax machine has three answering mode options. Read
through the answering mode options listed here, then refer to the instruction bar to the right.

OF2400/2600 ( 96-02-07 )

%Manual Receive Mode (TEL)

Manual Receive Mode (TEL)
If you use the same line for both fax and telephone calls and the majority of your incoming calls are
telephone calls, then the TEL reception mode is your best choice. Each time someone calls, your fax
machine will ring like a telephone. You can answer either from your machines handset or from an
external telephone connected to your fax machine (see page 6 to learn how to con-nect an external
telephone). If you pick up the handset and hear fax machine tones, press the Start key to receive the fax.
If you do not answer the phone and someone tries to send you a fax message, your machine will not
accept it. When in this mode, TEL appears on your fax machines display.

OF2400/2600 ( 96-02-07 )

%Auto Receive Mode (FAX)

Auto Receive Mode (FAX)
If your fax machine is connected to a tele-phone line reserved only for fax communica-tions, the Auto
Receive mode is your best choice. Your fax machine will assume all incoming calls are fax messages and
will attempt to set up fax communications each time someone calls. When in this mode, FAX appears on
the display.

OF2400/2600 ( 96-02-07 )

%Telephone/Fax Mode (T/F)

Telephone/Fax Mode (T/F)
When incoming calls are a mixture of fax and telephone calls, your best choice is the Telephone/Fax or
T/F mode. In this mode, your fax machine detects whether the incom-ing call is a fax or a voice call and
responds accordingly. When the call is from another fax machine, your machine will switch to fax mode
and automatically receive the fax mes-sage. If a voice call comes in, your machine will ring just like a
telephone and the calling party will hear the following voice message, One moment please, your call is
being connected. When your fax machine rings, pick up the handset and speak to the other party. If you
do not answer an incoming voice call, the calling party will hear the following message, Sorry, theres no
answer . . . please try later. If you are sending a fax, begin transmission after the tone. After a preset
time, your fax machine will automatic-ally switch back to fax mode. This allows the calling party to
manually send a fax. While in this mode, T/F appears on the display.

%Changing Your Answering Mode

Changing Your Answering Mode
Follow these instructions to change your fax machines answering mode.

OF2400/2600 ( 96-02-07 )

%Answering Mode Function Settings

Answering Mode Function Settings
Some options are available to allow you to control how your fax machine operates in the different

answering modes.

- In both Auto Receive and Telephone/Fax modes, your fax machine is set to answer incoming
telephone calls immediately after the first ring. However, if you are using an external telephone,
you may want your fax machine to wait longer before answeringto give you more time to answer
the call on your external tele-phone. In this case, you can set your fax machine to wait between 5
and 30 seconds before answering. For informa-tion on how to increase the time your fax machine
waits before answering, see RING RESPONSE on page 90. Note that this function requires a
ser-viceman to change it and may not be available in all countries.

- Occasionally, someone may telephone your fax machine and then manually send a fax (see page

45). If your fax machine is set to Auto Receive mode, all the other party has to do is press the
Start key on his fax machine. How-ever, if your fax machine is set to Telephone/Fax mode, it will
answer the incoming call as a voice telephone call. If no one answers after 35 sec-onds, your fax
machine will provide the following voice message to the calling party: Sorry, theres no answer . . .
please try later. If you are sending a fax, begin transmission after the tone. At this point, your fax
machine automat-ically switches back to fax mode to receive a manually sent fax. Your fax
machine can be set either to never switch back to fax mode, or to wait for 20 or 35 seconds
before switching back to fax mode. For information on changing this setting, see TEL/FAX timer
on page 90.

- In Telephone/Fax mode, your fax machine uses voice messages to inform the calling party of what
it is doing when the incoming call is a voice telephone call (see Telephone/Fax Mode on page 9).
Your fax machine can provide voice messages in nine different languages: English, German,
Dutch, Italian, French, Swedish, Norwegian, Danish and American English. For information on
how to change the language your fax machine uses for voice messages, or if you want to turn the
voice message function off, see Setting Languages on page 13.

%Setting the Fax Identification

Setting the Fax Identification
Changing the Position of Your Sender ID
The Sender ID normally prints at the top of each page sent, slightly out-side the original area of the page.
This way, the Sender ID never inter-feres with the original information on the page. However, this makes
each page slightly longer than the origi-nal. If you prefer, you can set the Sender ID to print slightly inside
the original information on the page. For information on how to change this setting, see Sender ID on
page 84.

Caution: Important Note
Setting the Sender ID is an FCC requirement (see page iii).Fax machines use fax identification
informa-tion listed here to identify themselves during communications. After you have read the
descriptions here, follow the instructions on the next page to enter your fax identification.

TSI/CSI/CIG
This is the telephone number of your fax machine. This number appears at the top of every fax you send
and sometimes appears in displays during fax communications. In addition to numbers, you can also
enter spaces and + characters in the telephone number, for example: [phone]. In this case, the +
character has been added to show that an international access code must be added before dialing this
number. The space and hyphen have been added to make reading the number easier. See the note bar
on page 12 to learn how to enter these characters.

Sender ID
This is a descriptive title (usually the location of your fax machine or the name of your company or office).
Along with the time and date, page number, and your fax machines telephone number, this description
will be printed at the top of every fax you send. You can enter up to 32 characters. The first 16 characters
of your Sender ID will also be used as your Personal ID and will appear on the displays of other fax
machines you are communicating with. Setting the Sender ID is an FCC requirement ( see page iii).

Call Back Number
If you use the voice request function (see page 60 for a description)while communicat-ing with another
fax machine and no one is there to answer, your fax machine will auto-matically send a cover letter with a
call back message . The call back message is printed on a separate sheet of paper with the mes-sage
Please call back and a telephone number where you can be reached. You can also add a call back
message cover letter any time you send a fax (see page 83). The call back number entered here is the
tele-phone number that appears on the call back message. This tells the remote party the voice
telephone number (not a fax number) they should use when calling you back.

Personal ID
The Personal ID is another, shorter descriptive title for your fax machine (location, office or company)
which appears on the displays of other fax machines you are communicating with. The Personal ID
consists of up to 16 characters. It will only appear in the display of another OKI product.

Entering Information

%Setting Languages

Setting Languages
Your fax machine uses language in two different ways: the language it uses on the display, and the

language it uses when answering voice telephone calls in Telephone/Fax mode (see page 9). The display
and voice languages can be set independently of each other.

The display and voice languages can be set to any of the following European languages: ENG (English),
GER (German), DU (Dutch), ITA (Italian), FRN (French), SWE (Swedish), NOR (Norwegian), DANE
(Danish). In addition, the voice language can be set to AME (American English), and the voice language
function can also be turned OFF completely.

Changing the Display Language Back
If the fax machine is set to a language which you cant read, follow the exact same steps shown in the
access bar until 55: appears on the display. You will still be able to read the codes signifying each
language. Continue to follow the steps to change the display language to your preference.

Listening to the Voice Language
If you want to listen to your fax machines voice messages and understand more about how your fax
machine handles incoming voice calls, set your fax machine to Telephone/Fax mode (see page 9), and
then use another telephone to call your fax machines number.

%Installing Optional Memory Cards

Installing Optional Memory Cards
The OKIFAX 2400 comes equipped with 512 kilobytes of onboard memory. Depending on your fax
machines settings and the type of faxes you normally send and receive, this is enough memory to hold
up to 29 (CCITT #1) pages of standard office faxes in memory. The OKIFAX 2600 is equipped with 1
megabyte of onboard memory enough to hold up to 64 (CCITT #1) pages of standard office faxes in
memory. Many of your OKIFAX 2400/2600s advanced fea-tures depend on memory, including:

- Transmitting detailed faxes from memory in the FINE, EX.FINE or PHOTO transmission modes
(see page 84)

- Sending multiple faxes once daily to a single location using the delayed mail box feature (see
page 64)

- Using personal mail boxes for confiden-tial message reception and message forwarding (page 66)

- Broadcasting large and complex docu-ments from memory to multiple locations (see page 72)

- Initiating relay broadcasts of large and complex documentsor, if you have an OKIFAX 2600, using
the fax

Warnings Read these warnings before you remove your memory card options from their packages or
attempt to install them.

- NEVER insert or remove a memo-ry card while your fax machines power is on. If you try to insert
or remove the card while the power is on, you could permanently damage the card.

- Memory cards are delicate electronic devices. NEVER bend, put pressure on or drop them.

- NEVER put any labels, tape or other sticky substances on mem-ory cards.

- Avoid keeping memory cards in dirty or dusty locations. If you do not plan to install your memory
cards right away, leave them in their packages.

%Installation Options

Installation Options
This page lists optional ways that your fax machine can be installed for specific types of uses, and the
function settings which may have to be changed in order for your fax machine to work in these
installations.

PBX Installations
A PBX, or Private Branch Exchange, is a private telephone system which companies and other
organizations use to route internal calls and control costs. If you have to dial an access number to get an
outside line, then your telephone is connected to a PBX. Fax machines are normally connected direct-ly
to outside lines; however, if your fax machine is to be connected to your PBX, the following settings of
your fax machine may have to be changed:

PBX MODE
Turning this function on tells your fax machine that it is connected to a PBX. Once turned on, your fax
machine will be able to discriminate your PBXs outside line access digits in the num-bers that you
program or dial in your fax machine. After it dials the access digits, your fax machine will automati-cally
wait until it sees that the outside line is available before dialing the rest of the number. See PBX MODE
on page 89.
J ACCESS DIGIT This function allows you to enter the access digit(s) your PBX uses to access an
outside line, so that your fax machine can recognize it. See ACCESS DIGIT on page 90.
If your fax machine is connected to a PBX, keep in mind that all of the outside tele-phone numbers you
program into your fax machines dialing directories will have to begin with your PBXs access digits.

Leased Line Installations
Leased lines are fixed connections between two fax machines. The connected fax machines can only
communicate with each other. The telephone line connecting the two fax machines is leased from the
telephone company, and the two machines are typically in different locations. In this situa-tion, the
LEASED LINE function (page 90) must be turned on, and the PIS/CNG CHANGE function (page 90) may
have to be changed.

Service Assistance Required
All of the installation options listed on this page require the assistance of a qualified fax service
technician. In addition, you may require addi-tional training and support, as these installations
fundamentally change the operation of your fax machine. Please contact your OKIFAX authorized dealer.
