HP J4580, J4500 manual Solution

Chapter 8

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

Solution: If Fax to PC has been enabled, you may not be able to send or receive faxes if the fax memory is full (limited by device memory).

Solution:

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

1 Telephone wall jack

2Use the phone cord supplied in the box with the device to connect to the "1-LINE" port

If the phone cord that came with the device 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.

•Try connecting a working phone and phone cord to the telephone wall jack that you are using for the device and check for a dial tone. If you do not hear a dial tone, call your local telephone company for service.

•Other equipment, which uses the same phone line as the device, might be in use. For example, you cannot use the device for faxing if an extension phone is off the hook, or if you are using a computer dial-up modem to send an e-mail or access the Internet.

•Check to see if another process has caused an error. Check the display or your computer for an error message providing information about the problem and how to solve it. If there is an error, the device will not send or receive a fax until the error condition is resolved.
