use or off the hook. For example, you cannot use the printer for faxing if an extension phone is off the hook, or if you are using a computer dial-up modem to send email or access the Internet. The printer is having problems sending and receiving faxes ● Make sure the printer is turned on. Look at the display on the printer. If the display is blank and (the Power button) light is not lit, the printer is turned off. Make sure the power cord is firmly connected to the printer and plugged into a power outlet. Press (the Power button) to turn on the printer. After turning on the printer, HP recommends you wait five minutes before sending or receiving a fax. The printer cannot send or receive faxes while it is initializing after being turned on. ● If HP Digital Fax has been enabled, you might not be able to send or receive faxes if the fax memory is full (limited by printer memory). ● Make sure you used the phone cord supplied in the box with the printer to connect to the telephone wall jack. One end of the phone cord should be connected to the port labeled 1-LINE on the back of the printer and the other end to your telephone wall jack, as shown in the illustration. 1 Telephone wall jack. 2 Connect the phone cord to the port labelled 1-LINE on the back of the printer. ● 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, call your local telephone company for service. ● Other equipment, which uses the same phone line as the printer, might be in use. For example, you cannot use the printer for faxing if an extension phone is off the hook, or if you are using a computer dial-up modem to send an email or access the Internet. ● Check to see if another process has caused an error. Check the display or your computer for an error message providing information about the problem and how to solve it. If there is an error, the printer cannot send or receive a fax until the error condition is resolved. ● The phone line connection might be noisy. Phone lines with poor sound quality (noise) can cause faxing problems. Check the sound quality of the phone line by plugging a phone into the telephone wall jack and listening for static or other noise. If you hear noise, turn Error Correction Mode (ECM) off and try faxing again. If the problem persists, contact your telephone company. ● If you are using a digital subscriber line (DSL) service, make sure that you have a DSL filter connected or you cannot fax successfully. 120 Chapter 10 Solve a problem ENWW
