The "Using Correct Type of Phone Cord with Fax" test failed
● One end of the phone cord should be connected to the port on the printer, and the other end to your
telephone wall jack, as shown in the illustration.

Use a minimum 26 AWG phone cord to connect to the port on the printer.
Use a longer phone cord if needed. You can purchase phone cords from electronics stores that sell phone
accessories.
● Check the connection between the telephone wall jack and the printer to make sure the phone cord is
secure.
● 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.
The "Dial Tone Detection" test failed
● Other equipment, which uses the same phone line as the printer, might be causing the test to fail. To nd
out if other equipment is causing a problem, disconnect everything from the phone line, and then run
the test again. If the Dial Tone Detection Test passes without the other equipment, then one or more
pieces of the equipment is causing problems; try adding them back one at a time and rerunning the test
each time, until you identify which piece of equipment is causing the problem.
● Try connecting a working phone and phone cord to the telephone wall jack that you are using for the
printer and check for a dial tone. If you do not hear a dial tone, contact your telephone company and
have them check the line.
● Make sure you have correctly connected the printer to the telephone wall jack. Using the phone cord,
connect one end to your telephone wall jack, then connect the other end to the port on the printer.
● 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.
