HP 3300 manual HP All-in-One cannot send faxes, but can receive faxes

The HP All-in-One cannot send faxes, but can receive faxes

Solution

●The HP All-in-One might be dialing too fast or too soon. You might need to insert some pauses in the number sequence. For example, if you need to access an outside line before dialing the phone number, insert a pause following the access number. If your number is 95555555, and 9 accesses an outside line, you might insert pauses as follows: 9-555-5555. To insert a pause during dialing, press , or press the Space (#) button repeatedly, until a dash (-) appears on the color graphics display.

You can also use monitor dialing to send the fax. This enables you to listen to the phone line as you dial. You can set the pace of your dialing and respond to prompts as you dial. For more information, see Send a fax using monitor dialing.

●The number you entered when sending the fax is not in the proper format or the receiving fax machine is having problems. To check this, try calling the fax number from a telephone and listen for fax tones. If you cannot hear fax tones, the receiving fax machine might not be turned on or connected, or a voice mail service could be interfering with the recipient's phone line. You can also ask the recipient to check the receiving fax machine for any problems.

Fax tones are recorded on my answering machine

Solution

●When you have an answering machine on the same phone line you use for fax calls, try connecting the answering machine directly to the HP All-in-One as described in Fax setup. If you do not connect the answering machine as recommended, fax tones might be recorded on your answering machine.

●Make sure your HP All-in-One is set to receive faxes automatically. If your HP All-in-One is set up to receive faxes manually, the HP All-in-One will not answer incoming calls. You must be available to respond in person to incoming fax calls, or the HP All-in-One will not receive the fax and your answering machine will record the fax tones. For information on setting up your HP All-in-One to receive faxes automatically, see Fax setup.

●Make sure the Rings to Answer setting is set to a greater number of rings than the answering machine. For more information, see Set the number of rings before answering.

The phone cord that came with my HP All-in-One is not long enough

Solution If the phone cord that came with your HP All-in-One is not long enough, you can use a coupler to extend the length. You can purchase a coupler at an electronics store that carries phone accessories. You will also need another phone cord, which can be a standard phone cord that you might already have in your home or office.
