Cause: Other equipment that uses the same phone line as the HP All-in-One might be in use.

Solution: Make sure extension phones (phones on the same phone line, but not connected to the HP All-in-One) or other equipment are not in use or off the hook. For example, you cannot use the HP All-in-One for faxing if an extension phone is off the hook, or if you are using a computer dial-up modem to send e-mail or access the Internet.

Cause: The HP All-in-One shares the same phone line with a DSL service and a DSL filter is not connected.

Solution: If you use a DSL service, make sure that you have a DSL filter connected or you will not be able to fax successfully. The DSL service sends out a digital signal on the phone line that can interfere with the HP All-in-One, preventing the HP All-in- One from sending and receiving faxes. The DSL filter removes the digital signal and allows the HP All-in-One to communicate properly with the phone line. To check if you already have a filter installed, listen to your phone line or dial tone. If you hear noise or static on the line, you probably do not have a DSL filter installed, or it is installed incorrectly. Obtain a DSL filter from your DSL provider. If you already have a DSL filter, make sure it is connected correctly.

Cause: Another process has caused an error in the HP All-in-One.
