HP Color LaserJet Enterprise Flow M776z All-In-One Laser Printer - Manual (Page 312)

Are you using a phone company voice-messaging service or an answering machine?
If the rings-to-answer setting for the messaging service is lower than the rings-to-answer setting for the fax
accessory, the messaging service answers the call, and the fax accessory cannot receive faxes.
If the rings-to-answer setting for the fax accessory is lower than that of the messaging service, the fax accessory
answers all calls.
Does your phone line have a call-waiting feature?
If the fax telephone line has an activated call-waiting feature, a call-waiting notice can interrupt a fax call in
progress, which causes a communication error.
Ensure that a call-waiting feature is not active on the fax telephone line.
Check fax accessory status
If the analog-fax accessory does not appear to be functioning, print a Configuration Page report to check the
status.
1. From the Home screen, scroll to and select Reports .
2. Open the following menus:
a. Configuration/Status Pages
b. Configuration Page
3. Touch the Print button to print the report, or touch the View button to view the report on the screen. The
report consists of several pages.
NOTE: The printer IP address or host name is listed on the Jetdirect Page.
4. On the Fax Accessory Page of the Configuration Page, under the Hardware Information heading, check the
Modem Status. The following table identifies the status conditions and possible solutions.
NOTE: If the Fax Accessory Page does not print, there might be a problem with the analog fax accessory.
If you are using LAN fax or Internet fax, those configurations could be disabling the feature.
