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 are using 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
