•Try to send or receive a test fax. If you can send or receive a fax successfully, there might not be a problem.

•Make sure you use the phone cord that came with the HP Fax. If you do not use the supplied phone cord to connect from the telephone wall jack to the HP Fax, you might not be able to send or receive faxes. After you plug in the phone cord that came with the HP Fax, run the fax test again.
