The "Fax Hardware Test" failed ● Turn the printer off by pressing (the Power button) located on the front left side of the printer and then unplug the power cord from the back of the printer. After a few seconds, plug the power cord in again, and then turn the power on. Run the test again. If the test fails again, continue reviewing the troubleshooting information in this section. ● Try to send or receive a test fax. If you can send or receive a fax successfully, there might not be a problem. ● If you are running the test from the Fax Setup Wizard (Windows) or HP Utility (OS X and macOS), make sure the printer is not busy completing another task, such as receiving a fax or making a copy. Check the display for a message indicating that the printer is busy. If it is busy, wait until it is finished and in the idle state before running the test. ● 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 printer directly to the telephone wall jack. After you resolve any problems found, run the fax test again to make sure it passes and the printer is ready for faxing.
