adding them back one at a time and rerunning the test each time, until you identify which piece of equipment is causing the problem.

If the Fax Line Condition Test fails without the other equipment, connect the HP All-in-One to a working phone line and continue reviewing the troubleshooting information in this section.

If you are using a phone splitter, this can cause faxing problems. (A splitter is a two-cord connector that plugs into a telephone wall jack.) Try removing the splitter and connecting the HP All-in-One directly to the telephone wall jack.

After you resolve any problems found, run the fax test again to make sure it passes and your HP All-in-One is ready for faxing. If the Fax Line Condition test continues to fail and you experience problems faxing, contact your telephone company and have them check the phone line.

The control panel display always shows Phone Off Hook

Solution You are using the wrong type of phone cord. Make sure you are using the phone cord that came with your HP All-in-One to connect the device to your phone line. For more information, see The "Using Correct Type of Phone Cord with Fax" test failed.

The HP All-in-One is having problems sending and receiving faxes

Solution Make sure the HP All-in-One is turned on. Look at the control panel display on the HP All-in-One. If the control panel display is blank and the On light is not lit, the HP All-in-One is turned off. Make sure the power cord is firmly connected to the HP All-in-One and plugged into a power outlet. Press the On button to turn on the HP All-in-One.

After turning on the HP All-in-One, HP recommends you wait five minutes before sending or receiving a fax. The HP All-in-One cannot send or receive faxes while it is initializing after being turned on.

Solution

Make sure you used the phone cord supplied in the box with your HP All-in- One 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 your HP All-in-One and the other end to your telephone wall jack, as shown below.
