display is blank, the unit is off), or check for green

 

 

lights on the front panel. Check the connections.

 

Is your original fully inserted into the ADF? When

 

 

you place your original into the ADF, the front-

 

 

panel display shows “Original Loaded.” If this

 

 

message does not appear, remove your original and

 

 

reinsert it.

 

Are you copying, faxing, or e-mailing several pages

 

 

or documents? You must wait until the unit

 

 

completes the current task before starting a new

 

 

task.

 

Did you load the correct paper type in the input

 

 

tray? Do not use the unit to copy onto envelopes.

 

Is there a paper jam? Clear the jam. For more

 

 

information, see “Clear a paper jam.”

 

• Is the HP Fax connected to the phone system

 

 

correctly? Check that the phone cord is firmly

 

 

connected to the port on the phone/fax line

 

 

connector. For more information, see “Check for

 

 

dial tone.”

 

Is the telephone wall-outlet working properly? Try

 

 

connecting a working telephone and phone cord

 

 

into the wall outlet you are using for the HP Fax. If

 

 

the phone does not work, call your local phone

 

 

company for service. If the phone does work, try

 

 

reconnecting the HP Fax to the telephone outlet

 

 

using a different phone cord.

 

Are you using an Integrated Services Digital

 

 

Network (ISDN) service? The HP Fax is a Group 3

connection to an ISDN service. You can use the

 

 

HP Fax with an ISDN service by connecting it to an

 

 

analog telephone port (also called an R-interface)

 

 

on an ISDN terminal adapter.
