Fax issues Run the fax test report first to see if there is a problem with your fax setup. If the test passes and you are still having problems faxing, check the fax settings listed in the report to verify that the settings are correct. Run the fax test You can test your fax setup to check the status of the printer and to make sure it is set up correctly for faxing. Perform this test only after you have completed fax setup on the printer.
The "Fax Hardware Test" failed ● Turn the printer off by pressing (Power button) located on the printer control panel and then unplug the power cord from the back of the printer. After a few seconds, plug the power cord in again, and then turn the power on. Run the test again. If the test fails again, continue reviewing the troubleshooting information in this section. ● 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 printer is ready for faxing. The "Phone Cord Connected to Correct Port on Fax" test failed Make sure you use the phone cord that came with the printer. If you do not use the supplied phone cord to connect from the telephone wall jack to the printer, you might not be able to send or receive faxes. After you plug in the phone cord that came with the printer, run the fax test again.
The "Using Correct Type of Phone Cord with Fax" test failed ● Make sure you used the phone cord supplied in the box with the printer 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 printer, and the other end to your telephone wall jack, as shown in the illustration.
● 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 printer directly to the telephone wall jack. ● If your telephone system is not using a standard dial tone, such as some private branch exchange (PBX) systems, this might cause the test to fail. This does not cause a problem sending or receiving faxes. Try sending or receiving a test fax.

● If the printer shares the same phone line with a DSL service, the DSL modem might not be grounded correctly. If the DSL modem is not grounded correctly, it can create noise on the phone line. Phone lines with poor sound quality (noise) can cause faxing problems. You can check the sound quality of the phone line by plugging a phone into the telephone wall jack and listening for static or other noise. If you hear noise, turn off your DSL modem and completely remove power for at least 15 minutes.
