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

Solution:

•Check the connection between the telephone wall jack and the product to make sure the phone cord is secure.

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

•Make sure you have correctly connected the product to the telephone wall jack. Using the phone cord supplied in the box with the product, connect one end to your telephone wall jack, then connect the other end to the port labeled 1-LINE on the back of the product. For more information on setting up the product for faxing, see “Set up the HP Photosmart for faxing” on page 51.

•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 product 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 product 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 product is ready for faxing.
