●

Other equipment, which uses the same phone line as the HP All-in-One, might be causing

the test to fail. To find out if other equipment is causing a problem, disconnect everything

except the HP All-in-One from the phone line, and then run the test again.

–

If the

Fax Line Condition Test

passes without the other equipment, then one or

more pieces of the equipment is causing problems; try adding them back one at a

time and rerunning the test each time, until you identify which piece of equipment is

causing the problem.

–

If the

Fax Line Condition Test

fails without the other equipment, connect the HP All-

in-One to a working phone line and continue reviewing the troubleshooting

information in this section.

●

If you are using a phone splitter, this can cause faxing problems. (A splitter is a two-cord

connector that plugs into a telephone wall jack.) Try removing the splitter and connecting

the HP All-in-One directly to the telephone wall jack.

After you resolve any problems found, run the fax test again to make sure it passes and the

HP All-in-One is ready for faxing. If the

Fax Line Condition

test continues to fail and you

experience problems faxing, contact your telephone company and have them check the phone

line.

Cause

The HP All-in-One is not set up properly for faxing.

Solution

Follow the instructions in this guide to set up the HP All-in-One properly for faxing,

based on the equipment and services you have on the same phone line as the HP All-in-One.

Then, run a fax test to check the status of the HP All-in-One and to make sure you set it up

properly.

The HP All-in-One prints a report with the results of the test. If the test fails, review the report

for information on how to fix the problem.

Cause

The HP All-in-One is turned off.

Solution

Look at the display on the HP All-in-One. If the display is blank and the

On

HP All-in-One and plugged into a power outlet. Press the

On

button to turn on the HP All-in-

One.

Cause

The wrong phone cord is used to connect the HP All-in-One or the phone cord is

plugged into the wrong port.
