The "Fax Connected to Active Telephone Wall Jack" test failed

Solution

Check the connection between the telephone wall jack and the HP All-in-One to make sure the phone cord is secure.

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

Make sure you have correctly connected the HP All-in-One to the telephone wall jack. Using the phone cord supplied in the box with the HP All-in-One, connect one end to your telephone wall jack, then connect the other end to the port labeled 1-LINE on the back of the HP All-in-One. For more information on setting up the HP All-in-One for faxing, see Fax setup.

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.

Try connecting a working phone and phone cord to the telephone wall jack that you are using for the HP All-in-One and check for a dial tone. If you do not hear a dial tone, contact your telephone company and have them check the line.

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

After you resolve any problems found, run the fax test again to make sure it passes and the HP All-in-One is ready for faxing.
