Cause: The HP All-in-One might be dialing too fast or too soon.
Solution: You might need to insert some pauses in the number sequence. For
example, if you need to access an outside line before dialing the phone number, insert
a pause following the access number. If your number is 95555555, and 9 accesses
an outside line, you might insert pauses as follows: 9-555-5555. To enter a pause in
the fax number you are typing, press Redial/Pause, or press the Space button
repeatedly, until a dash (-) appears on the display.
If you are using a speed dial entry to send the fax, update the speed dial entry to
include pauses in the number sequence.
You can also send the fax using monitor dialing. This enables you to listen to the
phone line as you dial. You can set the pace of your dialing and respond to prompts
as you dial.
Cause: The number you entered when sending the fax is not in the proper format.
Solution: Check to see that the fax number you entered is correct and in the proper
format. For example, you might need to dial a "9" prefix, depending on your phone
system.
If your phone line has a PBX system, make sure you are dialing the number for an
outside line before dialing the fax number.
Cause: The receiving fax machine is having problems.
Solution: To check this, try calling the fax number from a telephone and listen for
fax tones. If you cannot hear fax tones, the receiving fax might not be turned on or
