The fax test failed
If you ran a fax test and the test failed, review the report for basic information about the
error. For more detailed information, check the report to see which part of the test
failed, and then navigate to the appropriate topic in this section for information:
● The fax hardware test failed
● The fax connected to active telephone wall jack test failed
● The phone cord connected to correct port on fax test failed

● The dial tone detection test failed
The fax hardware test failed
Solution
● Turn off the HP all-in-one by using the On button located on the control panel
and then unplug the power cord from the back of the HP all-in-one. After a few
seconds, plug the power cord back in and 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.
● If you have a Windows computer and are running the test from the Fax Setup
Wizard, make sure the HP all-in-one is not busy completing another task, such
as receiving a fax or making a copy. Check the control panel display for a
message indicating that the HP all-in-one is busy. If it is busy, wait until it is
finished and in the idle state, before running the test.
After you resolve any problems found, run the fax test again to make sure it passes
and your HP all-in-one is ready for faxing. If the Fax Hardware Test continues to
fail and you experience problems faxing, contact HP for support. For information on
contacting HP for support, see Get HP support.
