be causing the test to fail. To find out if other equipment is causing a problem,
disconnect everything from the phone line, and then run the test again.

If the Fax Line Condition 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.
– If the Fax Line Condition Test fails without the other equipment, connect
the HP all-in-one to a working phone line and continue reviewing the

● 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 HP all-in-one directly to the telephone wall jack.
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 Line Condition test continues
to fail and you experience problems faxing, contact your telephone company and
have them check the phone line.
