To find out if other equipment is causing a problem, disconnect everything from the phone line, and then run the test again. If the Dial Tone Detection 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. ● Try connecting a working phone and phone cord to the telephone wall jack that you are using for the printer and check for a dial tone. If you do not hear a dial tone, contact your telephone company and have them check the line. ● Connect one end of the phone cord to your telephone wall jack, then connect the other end to the Fax port on the back of the printer. ● If you are using a phone splitter, this can cause faxing problems.

Use a minimum 26 AWG phone cord to connect to the Fax port
on the printer.
Check the connection between the telephone wall jack and the printer to make sure the phone cord is
secure.

into atelephone wall jack.) Try removing the splitter and connecting the printer directly to the telephone wall
jack.
The "Dial Tone Detection" test failed
Other equipment, which uses the same phone line as the printer, might be causing the test to fail. To find out
if other equipment is causing a problem, disconnect everything from the phone line, and then run the test
again. If the
Dial Tone Detection 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.
Try connecting a working phone and phone cord to the telephone wall jack that you are using for the printer
and check for a dial tone. If you do not hear a dial tone, contact your telephone company and have them
check the line.
Connect one end of the phone cord to your telephone wall jack, then connect the other end to the Fax
port
on the back of the printer.
If you are using a phone splitter, this can cause faxing problems. (A splitter is a two-cord connector that plugs
into atelephone wall jack.) Try removing the splitter and connecting the printer directly to the telephone wall
jack.
